Ubuntu :: Killed Unity (3d) By Clicking "set Default Settings" In Ccsm
May 4, 2011
Since i've touched the "set back to defaults" (or the like) in compiz configuration manager (CCSM), unity does not appear after logging in. I'm stuck with a complete blank screen, with my wallpaper and an mouse pointer. I have attempted the following:
- restore unity by the steps in askubuntu.com: unity --reset
- reinstalled unity packages
- created another account, to see if the user configuration was the problem
Another hint:
- Ubuntu classic with effects shows my screens outside of the viewport and i'm unable to use them
- Ubuntu classic without effects operates properly
Environment: HP Compaq 8710p, Nvidia Quadra 320M, Natty 64bit updated to 4 may 2011, Unity 3d

I've had this computer for a few days. I was playing around with it trying to get the multiple desktop cube.I wanted to restore it back, however every setting had dependencies with other settings so now my unity interface is unusable.the problems are
-no taskbar and no lancher
-some keycommands don't work(Ctrl-alt-t no longer opens a terminal, it used to)
-can't log off
how do i restore it to factory settings I messed it up using CCSM or whatever it's called

yesterday i upgraded my Maverick Meekat 10.10 to 11.04. When i was exploring new features of Natty Narwhal i by mistake disabled Unity in CCSM. And then the Unity dockbar and top Panel disappeared and i am not getting any menu or options. Alt + F2 isn't working so i can't run CCSM to enable Unity again. However i am able to log in as Ubuntu Classic with old menus and functions. how to bring Run command? so that i can run CCSM and bring back my Unity dockbar and top Panel?

Just got my 11.04 and tried to use some settings in Compiz. I`ve made these steps: Install the CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) application from the Software Center. If you need assistance with installing the application, consult the software installation help, or review the Ubuntu Software Center Manual.
After you have installed the program, click the power icon at the very right of the panel and select System Settings. In the Personal section, click CompizConfig Settings Manager. In the Desktop section of the CompizConfig Settings Manager, click Ubuntu Unity Plugin, and select the Experimental tab.
I`ve clicked on the left side there was something like "enable plugin" or sort of. And my launcher, and the pane on the top dissapeared! I got nothing. Just the screen. Nothing is workin. What the f>..?

I am was running Natty 64 bit on my computer when I though I would download kubuntu desktop so I would have it as an option when logging in. I restarted, played around with KDE then restarted again, choosing "ubuntu" as the desktop manager. Then unbuntu told me I did not have the graphics power (or something like that) to run unity and booted me into gnome 2.xx. Now I cannot boot into unity. Every time I restart it boots me into gnome. How can I fix this?

Did you play too much with compiz and after-a-while you realize that certain functions are not working anymore?
Well, just follow the steps below:
Quote:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz
Then,

Restart your PC / lappy

Every time I load unity - either by rebooting, logging out/in, or just "unity --replace" all my self-placed launchers are gone (just chrome, terminal and a custom launcher for my email) and the LibreOffice ones are back.
I'm assuming this isn't a bug, as here and launchpad would have tonnes of reports of something so obvious if it were affecting everyone, but something local to me.

I'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.

I recently upgraded my clean install Ubuntu Studio 10.10 64bit to Natty 11.04 and whilst everything is working well (except for having no plymouth boot splash - but I'm looking into this) I have noticed that when I log in to the "Ubuntu" desktop (with the Unity launcher and Menu bar in the top panel) I can't seem to change how the time and date is displayed. It seems to be stuck showing 24 hour time only with no date no matter which setting I select in the 'Clock' tab of 'Time & Date Settings' menu.
The clock applet works perfectly when I log into the 'Ubuntu Classic' desktop and I am able to display the date and weather ok.
I have a laptop which I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 64bit to 11.04 as well and it doesn't have the same issue.
I thought it might have been a rouge Gconf setting so I dumped my entire gconf using
Code:
gconftool-2 --dump / > ~/Desktop/allgconf.entries
then restarted into recovery and removed my ~/.gconf folder entirely, rebooted again and logged back on. Apart from losing some settings like Evolution and Networking, which I reloaded, and my theme going back to the default theme, the problem still exists.

How do you set Gnome as the default desktop instead of Unity. Unity is nice but I'd like to use less memory at the top.

I constantly work on several workspaces, and whenever I open an internet browser or anything, I'd like a new instance of the program to open. The default behavior takes me to the workspace that currently has an open browser, and this page is usually already very crowded. Can I override this default behavior on Unity?

I like everyone else posing in this forum am trying to reconcile with 11.04. Everytime I adjust a setting in the CompizConfig Settings Manager, the top unity bar wigs out and disappears, it is still clickable but its invisible. Is there any simple fix to this? I don't think it's my hardware because other people are getting this too. I really don't like restarting/logging off my computer everytime I make a compiz change.

I have played a little of the compize config. Apparently I change something in the setting of the unity launcher. What happen now is that when I resize a windows to be on all screen, I seen big thick black line where the unity launcher is suppose to be. When I move the mouse toward the left side I see again the unity launcher.
Is there anyway to restart compize to default setting. Or at least how can I set it back that I wont see that ugly line.

I automount two NTFS volumes on login. These display in both the desktop and the Unity launcher.
The first time I clicked one of them in the Unity launcher, it asked if I wanted to use Nautilus or Thunar. I chose Thunar.
Now, when I open the volumes in the Unity launcher, it always uses Thunar. When I open the volumes on my desktop, it always uses Nautilus.
Is there any way to standardize these, so that I use either Thunar or Nautilus, but not both? And how do I switch back and forth? Where can I reset the Unity launcher to use Nautilus again?

I recently installed the new 11.04 release and was messing around with the Compiz settings on Ubuntu Classic. I tried logging on to regular Ubuntu and everything crashed. When I start up there is no log in screen, only text shows. (I enter my log in information then type 'startx' in the terminal to show my desktop.)
The desktop shows a messed up version of my custom configuration with Cairo-Dock all weird and everything in the wrong place. Also my custom start-up screen that I installed is distorted, and the GRUB screen shows up in purple.
If there was a way to reset Ubuntu 11.04 to the default settings? I tried typing 'unity --reset' in the terminal but it gets stuck at the line 'Setting Update "fullscreen_visual_bell"'.

Alright, I searched the forums, and made google my friend, but I can't find out how to do this. I installed ubuntu earlier today, and it installed right beside windows like it usually does, but it apparently didn't give itself enough room for updates on the default settings. So, here's my gparted screen shot Sorry if that screenie is HUGE. The most I've gotten toward a solution is formatting the unalocated space and then trying to merge things, which I'm trying now. However, any other help, including details more specfic other than "format the unallocated and then try again" would be awesome.

I have a relative who made the mistake of changing the resolution of her display to something that her monitor does not support. The monitor no longer displays anything.If she connects another monitor to the computer, the monitor will work properly. If she boots off the live CD, her current monitor works properly. If she swaps out her graphics card with another with the current monitor, there is no display.Apparently, there is a remembered setting for the resolution of her particular monitor. Is there a way that it can be reset back to the default?

In ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 there is now xorg file. Is there some way to merge the default graphic settings with my own xorg file? I'm currently needing to use and xorg file for my via graphics cards, which works fine. However, some functionality is missing. the icons have lost transparency and the unity menu doesn't allow click and drag scrolling anywhere (like a tablet). If I delete the xorg file and run the default, I get all the crisp clear cut of unity but of course I get performance problems everywhere else... i.e I cant plug a multiple screen in and video playback is crap.
