I've installed the tool unity-tweak-tool, but I couldn't start it from Dash.
I can launch it from terminal though. Please advise how can I make the dash icon work ?
I am currently using GNOME Shell, Unity and GNOME Classic on Ubuntu 11.10.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.10. When I attempt to use the dash to search for an application immediately after log in, the search is unresponsive.
If you are like me have a lot of media you will tend to have this on a few dedicated disks in your systems or external.
What I wish to be able to do is search pictures/videos/music from the unity dash but locate all my media spread over a number of locations.
At the moment by default the dash will only search the home folder locations for the above with no simple way to change the paths where it

I switch to Unity 2D because 3D was very slow (intensive hard disk activity, seems related to 3D)
The problem now is that the Unity panel is not clickable, i mean when the dash is opened i can write text and display programs icons, but the cursor act as there is no panel.
When I was getting acquainted with files and directories as a newbe, I mistakenly created a /Home directory. I also have the /home directory via ubuntu installation. So far it doesn't seem to effect/cause operational problems. How can I get rid of this other /Home directory without harming my Ubuntu 1204 OS.
When you open the main menu in say MS Windows (7/Vista) you can quickly search for any item (apps/docs etc.) the same in Ubuntu (Dash), Kubuntu (Kickoff menu).
Is there any easy way to add such a search input which can filter apps (at least just apps no need for docs) in LXDE's main menu?
I Google'd a lot with no success, that's why I'm here.
I am a technical person so if you can give even more
Zac Barton has released Bolt, a Unity Dash like menu extension for Gnome Shell.
He describes it as:
A launcher thats a fusion of the Ubuntu dash, the Gnome-shell overview and the classic Gnome 2 menu which replaces the overview.
Features:
Allows you to see recent apps, docs and downloads using Zeitgeist
See applications in their categories - filtering made easy
Search for apps, docs etc

I would like to know the command (from the Terminal) which opens the Unity dash, the reason being I want to create a desktop icon that starts the dash instead of the 'Windows Key' for keyboard-free use of the computer (I miss the old Ubuntu-Tweak effect where putting your mouse to the corner of the desktop would reveal Expo or Scale effects - by the way, is it possible to get it back?)
