When I have multiple windows open, I'll want to have both windows open. When I click the open session on the panel, it brings up the requested open window - but hides the other windows from view. How to I do this selection w/out hiding the other open windows?
Thanks again for your help.
Forgive me for the long email, but please read it!
I really love Ubuntu and have been following it since r.6. Although Unity is good idea, it needs improvement in its LOGIC of use. My work requires keeping open many windows, up to 10 doc file, up to 10 pdf, etc., and Unity makes it hard for me.
1) You MUST (I repeat MUST) make it easier to switch b/w windows.
Strangely enough, this problem didn't surface while I was trying out Ubuntu on usb but after installing it to my hard drive and logging in, I was immediately met with Unity being unresponsive to left or right buttons on the mouse. The cursor moved perfectly fine, my mouse isn't the issue since I've tried others.
Help set my father in law up with his new laptop. It came with Windows 8. First time I have used it.
Trying to get your head around not having a start menu and working with those tiles is just plain weird. I just really can't see what the point of those tiles are. For having all your information in one place, great but for productivity it's awful in my opinion.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04, dual boot, with Unity as the desktop environment. HUD, rather than find programs, finds bookmarks, phrases in my paste manager, etc.. If, for example, I hit the Alt key and, when HUD pops up, type in "gimp," gimp does not appear. Instead, I see a number of Firefox bookmarks. Searching in Dash, by contrast, works perfectly.
I am not quite sure what to post.
This Unity bug doesn't seem to end; the issue is the one where the Unity launcher (in 11.10) loses focus and ends up behind opened windows.
It's a hit-and-miss because it's nearly impossible to find the pattern that leads to this undesirable behaviour. The only solution is to log out and log in until it works.
Hello ubuntu users! Well, I have got a problem much... You know, this computer is used by whole family, and it runs windows xp. I can't install dualboot or wubi because it'll look broken afterwards. But I love ubuntu's unity interface, and I'm trying to get it inside the xp. And it seems to me, using andlinux would be the right way!
So, I!

Triple Booting Xubuntu, Ubuntu and Windows
I'm an avid Xubuntu (Ubuntu + XFCE) user but I also dual boot with Windows XP. I originally created 3 partitions and wanted to use the empty one as a storage volume but now I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (the one with Unity) to do advanced testing and packaging.
