Fedora :: Gnome Choice Missing From Gdm?
Nov 3, 2010Upgraded to F14 today. After banging away on the secondary LCD monitor for about 2 hours, I finally got that working by de-installing Xfce and re-installing it, booting into gnome and running gnome-display-properties.
But "now" there is no choice for me on the GDM screen for gnome. I don't use it but I do rely on it as a 'backup' in case Xfce goes south.
I installed the Desktop Switching Tool and that doesn't do the job either. I get Xfce every time.
How can I 'rebuild' the login screen to include an option for Gnome, should I need to use it?
General :: GNOME The DE Of Choice By Major Vendors?
May 9, 2010As the topic says, why is GNOME the desktop environment of choice by major Linux vendors and distributions? RedHat, Canonical Ubuntu and Novell SLED all use GNOME as the default DE. Even Sun when they released JDS back in 2004 decided to use GNOME as the default DE despite the fact it is based on SUSE which used KDE as the default DE.

Apr 28, 2011Please excuse my ignorance, but I need to get it straight. I've been reading and trying to find out more about these three new desktop environments, but still am rather confused. I have had Unity on my netbook for a couple of months now and know it inside out (more or less by now). The problem is: what is the main difference between Gnome 3 and Gnome Shell?
To my understanding Gnome 3 will be a continuation of the panelled Gnome we are so used to? But then I read the panels will be gone forever, so I'm confused again Gnome Shell is somewhat similar-looking to Unity, but I haven't had a chance to try it properly yet.

Aug 2, 2011Will 11.10 have Unity or Gnome 3 or something else?Just a simple question. Right now I'm running 11.04 but I don't use unity I use gnome classic. I've used Gnome3 in a Fedora installment before I went back to Ubuntu and it was pretty nice. I've read a lot of stuff and as far as I could gather people don't like unity, so I would think they would switch back to something.

Aug 4, 2011(Running Ubuntu 11.04, 64bit) After a mad frenzy of attempts to fix a broken compiz profile of Unity it seems that Unity now runs on top of gnome when I boot into the Ubuntu Classic option. This makes for a mix of problems and is obviously not intended operation. Is it possible to correct this? Even by a radical reinstall of both the Gnome and Unity desktop environments?

Ubuntu :: Gnome Shell/Unity As The DE In 11.04?
Apr 7, 2011I have seen many reviews of 11.04 beta with option to upgrade from 10.10. Can somebody confirm that it could be done without damaging the present gnome. I do not want Gnome shell/Unity as the DE in 11.04 too.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: New 11.04 Xfce Desktop - Not Unity Or Gnome 3?
May 31, 2011Right now I am running 11.04, 10.04, 10.10. and I am using Unity, Gnome 2.32, and Xfce DE. Since 11.04 came out I have tried it with Unity, Gnome 3, Gnome 2.32 and Now Xfce. I have two internal hard drives and one USB hard drive that I use for testing. The two internal hd are running 10.10 and gnome 2.32 and the other running 11.04 and Unity. The USB hd now has 11.04 and Xfce.
After trying 11.04 with Unity and 11.04 with Gnome 3, I find them both designed wrong. They are very clumsy to use. (To many mouse movements and clicks) To many things need to be open and to many things to search for. I spend more time trying to do simple things that use to take me seconds to do in gnome 2.32.
Now that Gnome 3 is out, I believe gnome 2.32 is going away so I am looking for other avenues to go in. I have tried fedora and suse, but don't like the RPM's and there package manager. A few years ago I tried Xfce but liked gnome better.
This morning I decided to install it on a USB drive and give it a test drive. I find I really like it because I do things in seconds again. Things are easy to find and there is some things that are a lot like gnome 2.32. And one of the biggest things I like is it is so customisable. Also it boots very fast even from a USB drive. I believe I will be going to it as my main DE. I always liked Ubutnu and have use it since 2005 so I am glad I can stay with it even though I do not like or plan to use Unity or Gnome 3 in the future. This doesn't mean I will not change my mind, but as of now I do not like either one. Let see what will happen with the 11.10 release. Here are a few screen shots of 11.04 and Xfce.

Jun 7, 2010After trying gnome-shell and unity on my Intel graphics card, I decided to install Lucid, and give it a try on my Sony Vaio VGN-NW21SF Notebook, equiped with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4550 graphics card.
Software info:
Operating System: Ubuntu Lucid Lynx
Video Driver: fglrx 8.732-0ubuntu1 (ati website 10.5 catalyst), repository.
Gnome Shell: repository, ricoz, last build.
Unity: repository
Report: I experience the following: constant flickers, rendering problems (text is deformed, windows are not rendered), basically its unusable.
I understand that gnome-shell is still in beta, and it will not be included in Maverick as default, but how about Unity. This is a serious problem, which basically affects many users (I saw numerous complaints about ATI)
Ubuntu :: Should Unity/Compiz Be Removed If Using Gnome 3 In Natty
Apr 22, 2011I've played around with both Unity and Gnome 3 and I love them both. I've decided for now I'm using Unity on my laptop but I was thinking I'll use Gnome 3 on my desktop for particular reasons (I may switch to Unity if I find I'd like it better). My question is, if I install Gnome 3 via the ppa, wouldn't compiz no longer be supported with Gnome 3? Matter of fact I probably wouldn't use anything from compiz even if it could. Hence would it be safe to remove unity and all of compiz or do things in Ubuntu still depend on them? I also wouldn't want them still running in the background or anything. Perhaps now that Ubuntu decided to go the Unity way, that they should support a Gnome-shell build? Like Kubuntu/Xubuntu, even though regular Ubuntu still uses Gnome.
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Unity And Gnome 3 Are Designed For Touch Screens?
Apr 26, 2011Which is why I'm glad KDE still values the good old desktop paradigm. I'd like to use unity, but unfortunately, it is impossible to customise in any significant fashion. I will be switching to Kubuntu now. I think a "start bar" is the perfect mouse & keyboard GUI paradigm.
My recomendation to the Ubuntu devs is to give unity an option to replace the awkward (for a mouse) application finder with a "start menu", and also give an option to have the old style of task bar as well.
I am not complaining here. like I said, I like KDE and have no problem switching over. The only reason I care about unity is; I don't want somebody to try Ubuntu, find out you can't customise the GUI at all, then go right back over to windows or OSX.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Unity/Gnome Does Not Start After 10.10 To 11.04 Upgrade?
May 18, 2011I 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.
Ubuntu :: Totally Reset Gnome / Unity Settings
Jun 24, 2011I've upgraded now from 10.04 to 10.10 to now 11.04, and I believe I have so much cruft in my system that it's become unstable.I thought I could selectively rename certain folders in my root (such as .gnome, .gnome2, etc, while logged of (i.e. from a ctrl-alt-f1 console), but that really didn't seem to work.I'd prefer not to copy to external hard drive and re-install fresh. However, I'm using KDE now for stability, as neither gnome nor unity will run well.

Jun 28, 2011I have to report that I am unhappy with the idea of taking away Gnome. I use a tablet, thus I use CellWriter. CellWriter works fine on 11.04 in Gnome but not in Unity. Additionally, CellWriter uses a system tray icon, which doesn't exist in Unity. I don't like my destop experience in Unity. It doesn't agree with the way I interact with my computer.We have Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu. I would like to request that we fork a Unity distro and keep a Gnome desktop for users to choose.
