I think the best way to try Unity8 at the moment is to:
- setup Xenial 16.04
- install unity8-desktop-session-mir

and then ask on IRC if you still can't get it to boot

Hope that helps,
Andrea

Re: UI Changes?

[agents4je...@gmail.com]

I ran
sudo apt-get install unity8 -y

It finished, but I can't seem to find a way to run it or make it default.

Help!

Hi everyone,

One thing that I have noticed over the years is that Ubuntu's UI
really hasn't changed all that much.

The thing that bugs me the most is the grey "bump" at the top of
any window. (for example: firefox).

If the UI could change to a more "flat" look (even if the grey
/color/ stayed the same), it would give Ubuntu more of a visual
appeal.


You might want to give Unity8 a try :)

Also, the top bar that says "Ubuntu Desktop": I've tweaked it
using unity tweak tool to make it transparent (with blur). It
makes the OS look a lot more polished...except the menus are grey.

If the whole UI could be tweaked just a little bit ("flattened" in
some places, transparent in others), that would be really awesome.

I believe that the UI is due for a change anyway. It's been what?
Three years?

I'm not sure how hard this would be, I'm an Android developer, not
a Linux developer, but I think if the default theme was tweaked,
it wouldn't be all that hard...

Thanks,
Tony

libvirt-guests.sh not correctly working - patch included

[Draget]

Greetings,

this mail is sent via CC to ubunutu-devel, because I am not 100% sure if
the found formating issue might originate from some ubuntu issue.

libvirst-guests.sh on Ubuntu Xenial would not work correctly for me.
Only one of the guests would be correctly suspended while the others
were killed violently.

Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 1.3.1-1ubuntu2
/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests.sh

The script writes a list of the VMs it will manage into
/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt-guests but I noticed it was in the format:

 



and only the first VM was handled. After reading through the script and
doing some try & error patches, I figured that the correct format should be:

   

i.e. with no new lines. The attached patch makes sure the returned list
of VMs does not contain new lines. This fixed the issue.

Additionally I would suggest adding an information message on line line 444.
Changing:
  [ -f "$LISTFILE" ] && return 0
to:
  [ -f "$LISTFILE" ] && echo "No VMs started by libvirt-guests.sh,
not doing anything." && return 0

Regards,
Michael Gajda

I think this is somewhat a bug, but included ubuntu-users ml address this time

You can find a screenshot attached. Pressing "Ctrl+Esc" does nothing.
If I set the shortcut to "Ctrl+Alt+M" it works.

I have just noticed that you sent this to ubuntu-devel-discuss, which
is for discussion of development issues, not for user support.  I
suggest you ask again on the ubuntu-user list.

Also tell us there exactly what you entered for the command to run in
the shortcut and whether you have tried it with different key
combinations.

Colin

How have you attempted to do that, and which version of Ubuntu are you
using?  Also is it the standard (Unity) Ubuntu or one of the flavours?

Cannot set "Ctrl+Esc" as shortcut for gnome-system-monitor

[Angelo Compagnucci]

Dear All,

I cannot set "Ctrl+Esc" as shortcut for gnome-system-monitor, or at
least I can set that shortcut, but it doesn't work in practice.

There is an easy way to have a sensible shortcut for
gnome-system-monitor like other operating systems are doing?

Please don't say me that I have to use alt+f2, or use a shortcut like
Ctrl+Alt+M, it's insane!

Sincerely, Angelo
