The Ubuntu software Centre says it's installed (provided by Ubuntu), but if I pick "Applications" from the launcher it's absolutely not there.
I'm keen to stick with Unity (for a while at least, to give it a fair try) but this has been driving me mad for a while.
I installed 11.04 on a Dell inspiron 1420. When I logged in I got an error message (lack of hw) so Gnome was loaded. Then I installed the nVidia drivers. Now, how do I start unity ? If I select "ubuntu" in the splash screen I still get Gnome.

Graphics Card: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
System: Dell Netbook. Nothing remotely fancy.
After a night of trying to adjust the graphics settings to work with a reasonable game, I powered down for a few days and went hiking in the woods. Never got the game to work, but I had no problem restarting X and continuing to work. Thus, I assumed nothing was wrong. The only real change was the installation of DRIConf. Upon my return, I started up only to see my desktop background image load, and no GUI. No cursor, no Unity, nothing. When I boot up in recovery mode, GNOME seems to work perfectly fine. If I open DRIConf, though, it says that no devices can be found that are capable of direct rendering. My glxinfo output is below (clearly indicating that direct rendering is working). I assume there's a relationship between these problems. I just switched to Ubuntu a few months ago and am obviously a bit beyond my depth.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got the following problem: I just noticed that there were just very few notifications about updating the system (usually there are damn many of them in a week) So I opened the update manager and clicked on "refresh list". The following result popped up: p,li{white-space:pre-wrap;}E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found First I thought, it would be just some kind of server problem, but it didn't stop. The next thing was to research the thread and I even found something. However, the solution suggested didn't work at all. (Things, which might have caused this: I installed the default software center |I'm using Kubuntu, but in this case that fact doesn't matter| and used it. To sum up:
- not able to update the system referring to the launchpad main sources for 11.04
- following error: E: Error http://ppa.launchpad.net natty/main/Sources Sources 404 Not Found It would be great if this was a common issue and I've been simply too stupid to find a proper solution. So you could just post the link.
I am running Jolicloud on my netbook (which I believe is an Ubuntu derivative) and I am tried to enter the getdeb.net sources in so I can install apps from the website through APT but
1) When I entered the sources into sources.list and then the key into Terminal and then went to the site and tried to install an app it didn't work.
2) I deleted the line of code in the sources.list file and when I opened terminal and entered "sudo apt-get update" it showed the list of sources, but on the list were Getdeb.net sources.
My question is how do I delete sources that aren't in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
I have an Asus 1001p (pineview) netbook. I was previously using the Unity interface in 10.10 but, as of the update to 11.04, Unity never loads. I can log into the classic desktop just fine, so X/GDM are working fine. I assume that since I was running Unity before that the pineview graphics are capable of running Unity in 11.04.The very first boot after the upgrade, there was significant disk activity and then it sat there with a black X screen and a working mouse cursor. I let it sit there for about 20 minutes and then I rebooted. On the second boot, I experienced the same thing, except my background was GDM's background.
Ctrl+Alt+F1,2,3,4 wouldn't switch between VCs, but that's not something I ever really do on a netbook so I can't say if it was working before. Are there any logs or anything else I can look at to debug this issue? I didn't monkey around with compiz or anything like that. In fact, it was pretty much a straight-up 10.10 image before I upgraded.
I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04. Most of the upgrade went well except for one package (mpd). Ubuntu rebooted and went into a sexy-ish minimal grub. I launched Ubuntu, everything went fine. The only thing I can't seem to get working is Unity/Gnome. When I log on with kdm and choose 'default' or Ubuntu Classic, everything loads fine except for the taskbar/whatever interface. (I usually run wmfs instead of kde/gnome and I'm not sure which interface is currently installed right now. I have both kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu. )
I can still, however, right click and see my desktop/desktop icons. The only thing that does not load is the gnome/unity interface itself. I need it to manage my fonts to fix my wmfs fonts that got screwed up. (I'm using a bitmap font and it doesn't work unless I activate whatever settings I have to activate. )
I am not home right now and this was written on a phone. I apologize if this whole post seems confusing/total blabber. edit: Ubuntu Classic works fine, but Ubuntu/Default does not automatically launc the Unity interface.
I've recently upgraded a laptop of mine from 10.10 to 11.04 (Natty), and am having a few issues with it. I don't know how many of these are related to using Unity and how many are just due to the upgrade, but one of the main bugbears is keyboard shortcuts. I have always set the F12 key so that it opens a terminal window. I did this through the settings > Keyboard Shortcuts interface, but although I can (apparently) set this in Unity, it doesn't work. The setting is there, listed, but pressing F12 doesn't open a terminal. Neither does it if I set it to any other key.
I can create a new entry, to start xterm with F12, which works fine but this isn't quite the same as a terminal (it appears different on screen.) I also discover that CTRL+ALT+T doesn't open a terminal window either (as is suggested in a very useful list here: [URL] Have I missed something? Or am I being thick? (Quite possible ... )
Recently Banshee won't start up all the way. If I just start it from the Unity launcher I get a blank white screen which will eventually stop responding. If I run Banshee from a terminal I get this output:

Just moved to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity and only have one problem...For most of my desktop needs I prefer to have the Unity Launcher up all the time (fullscreen apps don't cover it), and have set this option with ccsm.
However, when I watch mythtv, it is also under the launcher (and the top panel as well). How can I force mythtv to cover the launcher?
What I really need is a keyboard shortcut to hide the launcher, but the only shortcut is for "show launcher". (I guess the devs assumed everyone would want it hidden by default).
This, by the way is not my usual way for viewing mythtv. I have a projector attached to the desktop PC and it doesn't get a Unity Launcher by default (in Twinview), so no probs. However, occasionally I want to watch something on my computer screen, and that is when this issue arises.

I want to make a program (or script for now that I can use in one) that will backup the sources, but not the ubuntu ones. What I mean say I have ubuntu 9.04 and I want to update to 10.10, I can copy all the extra sources and add them to the sources list, but not the ones for ubuntu 9.04 (since I will have the 10.10 ones). I want to do this with a script, so it can be for backing up and automated.
I would also like it to work in debian (or any spin off of including ubuntu spin offs), that way if someone is switching from one debian based distro to another it can be made easier. The only problem I am having is in knowing if the source is part of the core of the distro or not. I would combine this with one that will backup installed programs, so you could easily move them with you for an upgrade or to try a new distro .I could sware I created this thread already (today actually) but I guess my browser did not submit it before I closed it .
Dose everyone has the remastersys2.0.13.deb.i can't connect the sources web site.

I upgraded MM to NN and noticed all PPA software sources are disabled. This is AFAIK normal behaviour. But now what? How do I enable PPA software sources again but not for MM but for NN.
