Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Customize Unity 2D And Netbook Edition
Feb 17, 2011
Since next launch will have Unity desktop, I decided to install the netbook and available unity edition for 10.10, but my experience has been less than pleasant. :-/ I'll post a few comments about my worries, perhaps you know how to solve them already. The left bar is nice: but so far I've been unable to customize it! Not intelhidding, nor control over the size. The pick into the dock problem has already solve for unity but not for Netbook. Personally, I rather prefer a docky panel instead of an un-customizable bar.
Mension by a lot of people, the <Alt>-F1 and <Alt>-F2 binding are not working. I've never used <Alt>-F1 but <Alt>-F2 is quite useful for the intermediate or advance user. The Super-key: In netbook desktop somehow I loved that the super-key allows us to select a launcher from the bar. However this functionality is not in Unity. Worse, each time I press super-key, it sends me to the menu... How could I use the compiz functions so? like Super-a My compiz-configuration from Gnome is used by Unity... so when I press the show desktops I can see only one. How do I get 4 of them? I really, really love the fact that in the upper bar are shown the menu of the current selected window, specially because one can un-maximize the window and the menu remains in the panel. Perhaps the upper border of the graphical windows could be made thiner.. since there is no menu there any more!
I think this is mostly it! Anyway... I'll keep in touch Although all my possible negative comment, I think you have done a remarkable work with this environment... but we all know that mind breaking changes should support crisis! Don't they?!

I installed ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso hoping I would get the Unity User Interface, but to my dissapointment I got the regular one.
I checked the user settings and 'Netbook Edition' is selected as my default view.
What can I do to get the Unity Interface?

how to add launchers on the "dock". Anyone knows how to do it? Drag and drop does not work yet. I hope they'll make an auto-hide feature for the "dock" to save space on the screen

I have just done a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.0.4 Netbook Edition on my Asus Eee PC 1000H, which was originally running Windows XP. Right after the installation I used the Update Manager to download/install updates. It works fine so far and I think I am beginning to like it.
I just could not get my head around one issue with the Firefox 3.6.6. For some strange reasons I just could not download and install Firefox add-ons or themes. I would click on the button "Add to Firefox". The download window with the progress bar would appear. The progress bar would get stuck at 0% with the message "waiting". After 30 secs or so, this error message would appear:
Firefox could not install the file at [url]
Because: Download error-228

On the Ubuntu website, under the alternate downloads, there is a link for 11.04 netbook torrent download but clicking on the link gives an "unobtainable" message. On the "error" page, Chromium provided a link to the ubuntu page with all the 11.04 versions and checking through those there is not a netbook version.
Does this mean that there will be no netbook version of 11.04 and the desktop version will be OK on a netbook or is it simply that it is not available yet? I am intending to upgrade my current Acer Aspire One to 11.04 and am considering a clean install rather than upgrading via the update manager. I have downloaded the desktop version just in case.

I have an Asus 1018p with Ubuntu netbook version installed, and I wanted to upgrade the ram. With Windows 7 Starter, the maximum ram supported for this machine is 2 gb, and I was wondering whether the amount of ram supported by Ubuntu would be the same, or if it would be different. Also, if it's different, how would I go about finding out how much ram i could put in?

I am having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix edition onto a Acer Aspire one netbook. I am attempting to install the OS from a 16GB PNY usb drive w/ the usb-universal installer and ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix .ISO
The reoccurring problem that I am encountering is that when I boot from the USB-drive and begin to install everything seems to be working, and then it is stuck at the menu where it asks who are you?; and of course i have filled in everything asked and at the bottom where you can look at what its doing in the terminal/detail section all it says is ready when you are, and the forward tap is unselectable.

I own an eee pc 900a and would like to install [url] to it.
The eee pc hasn't got an CDROM drive so I have to convert the iso file to an img file to get it on an usb stick for installation.
This page describes how to do that with [url] with Windows, Mac or Ubuntu using usb-creato. But I have non of these available.
How can I convert the iso to an USB image with the help of debian ?

I have followed the directions to install the Netbook Edition onto my Acer Aspire One via usb drive. When I created the USB using the Universal USB Installer app, I created a 1GB persistence on my 4GB USB. I now want to install rather than run from the thumb drive, except when I get to partition area, it's showing no drives at all. I had XP, but I'd like to use the entire disk for UNE now. how to get it to install?

I have, in vain, tried to run or install Ubuntu Netbook Edition on an Asus Eeepc 1001PX.I have downloaded ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso and checked its md5sum, set up the installation media to both an USB-stick and a SD memory card using Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.3.exe and the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator.The Asus already has an Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop which was easily installed using the same procedure.

I have a Windows XP/Windows 7 dual boot system. My problem: [URL]. I follow these instructions to the letter, the live "CD" works fine - using a USB stick, I do not have a DVD drive, in- or external -. When I try to install Ubuntu from the live system, it corrupts my master boot record, I get the Error: No Such Device #####################. After I fixed this I tried to install Ubuntu under windows, using the same usb's wubi installer. The install completes, I reboot, and after selecting Ubuntu in my boot menu, I get that likewise well known error with wubildr.mbr [URL]
Rebuilding the USB stick doesn't make any difference, it behaves the same way. The wubi installer has the very annoying habit of downloading the iso during the installation procedure every time, I don't know why I can't just select the iso downloaded in the first step of the above link. This way I cannot check any md5 because I have no idea where it downloads the iso. What should I do to get Ubuntu working? Reinstalling any of my Windows systems is not an option, it is every time like gambling, I am using the same installation files, but sometimes the result is just not the same.

I have problems installing Ubuntu Netbook Edition (ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso)on Asus eeepc 1001PX. code...
I have tried both Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.3.exe and the Ubuntu start up disk creator to prepare my USB-stick.
I have earlier installed the Ubuntu desktop 10.10 on the same machine with the same method without problems.

I have ubuntu 10.04 netbook edition on my usb. But, when I go to install it, by restarting and then clicking F12 (is F12 the right one?) and the menu comes up. So i select boot with removable disk, but then it just resumes to boot as windows as it normally does. I need to get this menu right so I can install Ubuntu...My computer is a Dell inspiron mini 10 (1012).

I remember I tried to boot Ubuntu Netbook Edition LiveCD once, but I had a problem with 3D graphics, and a result I couldn't see the menu panels, etc. So, I was wondering, will the same thing happen with Natty, since they are both Unity? Or will they improve support for graphics in 11.04?

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to change the number of icons which appear in the Applications menu and the Files & Folders menu (the menus which pop up when you click those buttons in the launcher)?
At the moment I can see at most 6 favourite folder icons, for example, and any more than that cannot be displayed (it just says "see X more results..."). I'd find it much more convenient if it would simply display two rows of 6 icons each.
Does anyone know if it's possible to configure it to have that behaviour?

X is working, I get a desktop, all updates are current, just no Unity menus/window/widgets/whatever, blank desktop with single mapped network folder and no working keyboard shortcuts after initial login. I upgraded on Alpha 2 and it ate my desktop, never has given it back for 3 months. I assumed eventually the upgrades would fix it. Looked into ditching Unity and doing GDM, but thought I'd wait it out, ran dpkg-reconfigure unity and it did nothing, can't find any relevant errors in the logs, where should I be looking and/or what should I be doing? Running lots of servers on this box and have dual-boot, otherwise I'd probably torch it and start over.

I was running Ubuntu 10.4 netbook version (with Gnome) on my Dell Inspiron 910 and yesterday it told me there was an upgrade available, to Natty. I followed the links, did the download, and left it to install overnight. When I got up today, it said it had a problem, because an application was using a file it needed. I thought I had closed everything before I started the process. I acknowledged the message, and proceeded to restart.
I ended up with the standard 10.4 Ubuntu screen, but with no tool bars, status bars, or anything. Just the wallpaper. Keyring login came up and I signed in, wireless said it was connected. So it looks like things are working, just no UI as such. Poked all the screen edges with the mouse, but nothing popped out.
Ctrl><Alt><Del> brought up the logout screen, and if I clicked on Help, I could ultimately get Firefox to run. (Note: the Help screen talks about Gnome, but it had the new popout scroll bars).
If I hold down <Shift> on startup, I get the GRUB menu. I am running linux generic 2.6.38-8 , but I am not sure where to go from there. Running dpkg didn't help.

I would like to know if I could burn Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition with a CD-R & not use my flash-drive for install. Has anyone used a CD-R & Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition to install on a new hard drive? How come it ask you to use a flash drive & not a CD-R?

I have a netbook running Ubuntu Lucid. Is there a way to try out the netbook interface without actually changing the whole installation. I have a separate home but still would like to try it 1st. I tried as an install it a few versions back and hated it but it seems a lot improved with 10.04.

Is there a torrent for the netbook edition of ubuntu.
I'm running it in VirtualBox because I only want it to faff around with, I tried the full desktop version but it was a bit slow so I thought I'd give the netbook version a go. (I'm on a laptop)
I'm asking this because the download is very slow.
I'm on a 20mb connection and it starts off around 400k but then goes down to 30 so it will take hours.

So, I was wondering if I can replace my 10.10 desktop edition with Netbook edition? I loved the interface of Netbook edition, so I want to get. If get it on my normal laptop, will there be any problems? Can I install, Apache or Nginx on it? What are the main differences between them?
