Hi all I've been struggling with Unity/Ubuntu 12.04 on a Mac
Desktop seems a good deal less usable than in the pre-Unity days On 10.04.x, you can access every single app cumulatively installed, ever so easily Is there a SysAdmin's walkthrough, of how to return a Unity desktop to full administator's ready functionality ? Please advize, if you can. ( If not, I'll downgrade, & keep on updating that .. ) When you install KDE, LXDE, XFCE desktops, they take on a kind of Unity cut-down format .. Instead of giving you a bootup choice of desktop, the system auto-defaults to the latest installed desktop All this is a backwards step - offering less user-friendliness & more system-initiated control ( Ubuntu for dummies ? ) thanx, Lesz -- " The power of this life, if men will open their hearts to it, will heal them, will create them anew, physically and spiritually. Here is the gospel of earth, ringing with hope, like May mornings with bird-song, fresh and healthy as fields of young grain. But those who would be healed must absorb it not only into their bodies in daily food and warmth but into their minds, because its spiritual power is more intense. It is not reasonable to suppose that an essence so divine and mysterious as life can be confined to material things; therefore, if our bodies need to be in touch with it so do our minds. The joy of a spring day revives a man's spirit, reacting healthily on the bone and the blood, just as the wholesome juices of plants cleanse the body, reacting on the mind. Let us join in the abundant sacrament--for our bodies the crushed gold of harvest and ripe vine-clusters, for our souls the purple fruit of evening with its innumerable seed of stars ".
