I could not get the new web apps preview to work properly on my 12.04 system, so I decided to remove it using the following code:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge sudo ppa-purge ppa:webapps/preview sudo apt-get remove gnome-control-center-signon signond signon-keyring-extension signon-plugin-oauth2 signon-ui libunity-webapps-chromium unity-chromium-extension unity-lens-gdocs unity-lens-photo unit

Hi,

I'm trying to remove unity from a ubuntu desktop, and later install MATE.

I tried to remove the following packages:

For 11.10 (per http://askubuntu.com/questions/6302/...u-remove-unity)

Code: sudo apt-get remove unity unity-2d-places unity-2d unity-2d-panel unity-2d-spread unity-asset-pool unity-services unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-applications gir1.2-unity-4.0 unity-

I intalled the Unity Photo Lens using this commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:scopes-packagers/ppa && sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install unity-lens-photo unity-scope-flickr unity-scope-shotwell

And then downloading and executing a deb package found here. Flickr scope works fine. However, the Shotwell scope is not working and has caused errors in my system.

I have removed the Unity DE using this command:

Code: sudo apt-get remove unity unity-2d-places unity-2d unity-2d-panel unity-2d-spread unity-asset-pool unity-services unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-applications gir1.2-unity-4.0 unity-common indicator-sound indicator-power indicator-appmenu libindicator7 indicator-application evolution-indicator indicator-datetime indicator-mess

I'm new to Ubuntu and am interested in getting some different lenses but no matter what lens I try (Rotten Tomatoes, calculator, cities scope, etc) I can't get any of them to work.

I found in another question on AskUbuntu someone had demonstrated on how to enable/disable sites that would integrate with Unity, in the webapps preview. There was a screenshot showing a "Unity" section in the Firefox preferences. I don't have that option. This is the screenshot:

How can I get this option?

In Ubuntu 11.10 I used a unity-lens called graphicdesign from

ppa:scopes-packagers/ppa

I installed it on both 11.10 and 12.04 with:

sudo apt-get install unity-lens-graphicdesign unity-scope-colourlovers unity-scope-deviantart unity-scope-dribbble unity-scope-iconfinder

BUT in 12.04, trying to install it like I did, I find the following packages that were included are missing - no installat

I just did:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webapps/preview sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-preview

and get the following message:
