LXDE did not work before, when I only had default DE comes with ubuntu and LXDE additionally installed. But now it seems it works after installing some other WM. WM doesn't work currently;

I found a link that shows how to switch 11.04 to Gnome [URL]. However, the same trick is not apparently available for going back to Unity. What would be the step(s) to revert back to Unity?

How do I switch from Unity to Gnome ? I have downloaded Gnome but cannot figure out how to make the switch. Unity is terrible and if I cannot switch back to Gnome I will have to switch Distros.

currently i run both KDE and Ubuntu Unity 11.04 on my machine. I have encountered a little problem when switching desktop environments. With KDE, i prefer to use KWin as my windows manager (since i find it highly polished), and with Unity, compiz (not by choice). The problem is that if i don't switch the windows manager to compiz before switching over to unity, all hell breaks loose. Same with switching over from Unity to KDE.
The only solution i have found is to switch to Classic Ubuntu. and use the compiz fusion icon to select the windows manager in order to avoid any problems.
when i log onto the either KDE or Unity, how can i load the correct desktop environment in case it crashes (which it has)?
Note: this has also become a concern to me because of 11.10 removing the classic gnome. If the proper window manger can be loaded before entering the preferred desktop environment KDE, Gnome3 or Unity,

I have an odd behavior where the Unity shell looks incorrect when switching windows with 3D cover-flow like behavior. I created a video to demonstrate:

When I run unity_support_test, all appears well:
$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

I have been using docky lately (its a great app!) and I am just wondering if there is some way I can make it show all windows in an expose-like format if multiple windows are open, just like the Unity launcher.
Is there any way I can achieve this without switching to Unity?

When switching users or logging out and then back in, the unity desktop will be shifted to the right, so that the clock, power button, etc. is off-screen. This does not happen every time, but seems to be about 50% of the time.It looks to be shifted about the width of the toolbar on the left, so that there is a blank column the width of the toolbar, then the toolbar. So, maybe some screen position data is not being reset at log out

is it would be possible create a Ubuntu dvd that contains the ubuntu server desktop and alternate install opptions, as well as all four main desktop environments (gnome, kde, xfce, lxde) and unity. since much of the data is redundant between each version cd's it would probably all fit on one disk. then all that would be needed is two disks one for 32 bit and another for 64 bit. i really think that this could work.

I installed lxde, but my wireless internet doesn't work. I can switch back to gnome and it works perfectly. I tried wicd and manually connecting with the command line. Both fail while trying to get an ip.

I'm using 11.04 with Gnome 3 and it seems I can't change windows by using alt+tab. Is this a bug or a feature?

I'm running Debian + LXDE in a VirtualBox. Here are the details:
Code: Select all➜ ~ hostnamectl
Static hostname: debian64
Icon name: computer-vm
Chassis: vm
Machine ID: #############################
Boot ID: ###########################
Virtualization: kvm
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux stretch/sid
Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64
Architecture: x86-64
I really would like to jump into my desktop environment when I start my machine without the need to enter my user name and password. Apparently this is very easy to do. I added the following lines to my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Code: Select allpam-service=lightdm
pam-autologin-service=lightdm-autologin
autologin-user=username
autologin-user-timeout=0
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
And also added my user to the autologin group
Code: Select allgroupadd -r autologin
gpasswd -a username autologin
As you can imagine, it didn't work. Otherwise I wouldn't be here... I also tried to install Slim and enable autologin adding the following line to the /etc/slim.conf
Code: Select allauto_login = yes
That didn't work either!
Am I missing anything? Enabling autologin in LXDE?

I'm using Fedora 12 with LXDE (sudo yum groupinstall LXDE if you want to try it), and while using LXDE rather than GNOME, the power button doesn't do anything. I found a possible solution here: [URL] but I have no /etc/acpi/ folder. Why is that? Package acpid is needed.

User switching doesn't work for me anymore since upgrading to Lucid. When I choose "Switch From <user>..." in the logout menu on the top-right of my screen, it jumps to the login screen (gdm) but it doesn't show any usernames as it should.I wish I could get a screenshot of gdm but I'm not sure how.

I have installed the LXDE desktop on my Debian Testing setup (It also has XFCE desktop installed). On the LXDE desktop I am trying to increase the virtual desktops from 2 to 4 desktops but every time I right click on the desktop pager icon on the task bar and then click on Desktop Pager Setting (from the menu that appears), nothing happens I don't get any configuration window for the desktop pager. AM I missing something from my install of LXDE??

I have squid and dansguardian installed on my laptop. What seems to be happening is when I go from home (ethernet) to school (wireless), or from school to home, squid stops working (sites don't load - at least some don't). My fix was to shutdown squid with
Code:
sudo squid -k shutdown
delete the cache folder and then recreate it with
Code:
sudo squid -z
The problem is that this keeps happening and it is becoming a hassle to have to go through the 1-2 minute process every time I change my connection. I had squid and dansguardian set up and working for about a month on this installation and since Christmas on my old installation. This problem has only started recently. Occasionally, I would have to restart my computer because of DNS issues but I did not have to do so every time I changed connections.

I just installed some updates, one of which might have been
kdebase-3.5.4-20.el5.centos.i386.rpm.
Before I installed the updates, switching to a VT console using ALT+CTRL+Fn (n=1..6) worked, but after installing the updates it quit working within a KDE session. It does still work from the login screen (so it's not an X problem, or a /etc/inittab problem). After logging into a KDE session, I can get to a VT console if I first use ALT+CTRL+F12
Here's the keyboard section from xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
There is no option DontVTSwitch line. I have the same problem on another computer. That one is more of a problem because its keyboard doesn't have an F12 key. What to do?

I have a windows computer that has a virus on it. This computer isn't worth much so I don't want to get a virus program to clear it. I know the virus probably won't be able to crash the linux OS, but will it be able to transfer itself to flash drives if I am running linux?

Alright so i have been waiting for the release of 11.04 for quite some time now. And when i finally get it, and i boot from my liveCD, there is no Unity desktop interface. It's weird, because i can boot in other computers, and it'll work. This tells me there is something specific about my computer as to why it won't work. I can't seem to figure it out. I've heard people say to switch to classic mode, and that'll fix it. But i don't even know how to switch to classic mode.

I have problems with unity. It only shows a white menubar and a black sidebar.
I use Ubuntu 11.04 running in Parallels on iMac. Classic gnome works with 3d effects. Tested unity in terminal with a command and everything was green (yes). But starting unity shows only white menubar and a black sidebar without icons and text.
What can I do?

I am currently dual booting between Linux Mint 10, and Windows Vista SP2. Wireless works fine in both these OSes, but when I quit Mint and load Windows, 70% of the time my wireless stops working.
ie, it does not detect any wireless networks nearby, althought there are tons of them.
Restarting the wireless device doesnt help, I have to restart my computer at least 4 times for wireless to start working again.
And as of now, my wireless in Linux Mint has stopped working.

I realise 11.04 is only just out, but is this a known problem? and is there a fix? code...

I had Ubuntu 10.10 installed on my main computer. Having been trying out 11.04 for quite awhile, I decided to install it on my main computer after it was officially released. I did this via an upgrade. Problem is now that I'm not getting any options for unity 3D. On the log on screen i have an option for unity 2D and unity, however both are unity 2D. My computer has a built in graphics card, nothing amazing, but i have happily used compiz effects on it previous to this.
My graphics card is up to it so why is the unity session falling back to unity 2D? Another problem that I'm having is that i cannot get the launcher in unity 2D to move out of the way. I even installed a programme called 2D Desktop Setting to try to fix this problem but selecting the various options to show, hide, autohide, etc have no effect at all and it's really frustrating having the launcher covering up the left side of my screen.

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 to Natty but to my surprise when I rebooted, the unity interface didn't appear plus the menu bar on the top was cut off. So i started seeing if 3d acceleration was on and indeed it was, but the strangest part is that if i click on the left where the unity bar is supposed to be it will open the application but the problem is that I cannot see anything, I don't know if its a bad upgrade but its really annoying, the only way natty works for me is if I start with ubuntu classic.
Well these are my system specs:
Intel M Pentium 1.8 ghz
2 gb ram
Intel GMA 915
I'm sure its enough to run unity since I have seen other users running it under their Eee pc perfectly later on I'll upload some pics of my desktop all ruined, i've tried already typing under terminar unity --reset but after refreshing everything the desktop becomes even more unstable than.

I have a netbook with Ubuntu 10.10 with the netbook unity desktop. I have read that clicking the Ubuntu logo top left of the screen should open an 'expose' style switcher of all running applications. However when I click the logo it simply opens a menu screen with large icons labeled Web, Music, Photos & Videos, Games, Email & Chat, Office, Files & Folders and Get more Apps. See attached.

I have no idea what happened. When I restarted my laptop a message telling me that my hardware cannot support Unity came up. This is quite impossible, because I've been running Unity with no problems since 11.04 was released.
Compiz says that the interface is unity, and when I checked in login screen, it's not set to Ubuntu Classic or anything, just Ubuntu.
