Have been running Ubuntu on my desktop since 9.something... now on 11.04, but have not done any updates for a LONG time... I saw Unity and decided I wanted no part of that! I have a laptop that I installed Xubuntu 12.04 on, and like the Xubuntu MUCH better than Ubuntu... So, decided that I would put Xubuntu on the desktop.
I bought a Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 today. It came with Ubuntu 11.10 preinstalled. I tried it out, but it's something terrible. First of all, it's pure Unity without gnome 2 or even gnome 3 (only Unity/Unity 2D). I was unable to find synaptic, but somehow opened a terminal and tried to install ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop, but first is installed already and second is not found.
Hi.
I am currently using the Ubuntu 11.10 on Gnome-fallback mode.
I did this:
cd /usr/share/xsessions
sudo rm LXDE.desktop
sudo rm xubuntu.desktop
sudo rm xfce.desktop
I installed LXDE and xubuntu-desktop using the Ubuntu Software Center. I don't see the option to select either one in the Ubuntu Greeter.

Different wallpapers is a cool feature in Ubuntu desktop that implemented by Compiz. While Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick release, for some reason different wallpapers in different workspaces doesn’t work like older Ubuntu edition. Now, this feature come back in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty, and following is how to enable it in Ubuntu Natty Unity desktop.
1.) Disable Desktop Icons.
Make Gnome look like Unity
Hello All,
On my previous installation of Ubuntu 12.04 I was using the gnome classic desktop(no effects), but it looked and functioned just like unity 2d.
I would use unity 2d but the video playback is choppy in full screen, this is an older laptop, gnome no effects does not have this issue.
Ive tried to set the startup applications to include the unity launcher and
I'm using lubuntu for a while now, but found a couple of details that I wanted to view with unity (that's another story).
Ok, the thing is: I'm tryed on a VM with lubuntu to install unity (sudo apt-get install unity) When the instalation is over.
