What of the new devices coming out that are Android phones that become Ubuntu desktops when plugged in? I figured they'd use Unity 2d and that 3d would be too much for that hardware. I also hoped it'd be Unity 2d since so much progress was made on its accessibility. Alex M -Original M

Hi Luke, So are we at least sure that Unity 2D will at least be maintained for the next 6 months? In that case we will have enough to use for next year or so on stable production machines. Talking about Vinux, I am just curious if we will have a ppa for 2D? May be some one can then take up the

Hi Alex, In that case it is more likely that some one would maintain it afterall. Because if tablet manufacturers have an insentive to keep this going then there maybe some hope for Unity 2D. Happy hacking. Krishnakant.On Wed, May 09, 2012 at 10:46:47PM -0500, Alex Midence wrote: > What of the new

Hi, Luke, Do you or, for that matter, any of the other members on this list know if the terminal is accessible from Unity 3d? If so, all someone would have to do if they want to keep up with the latest developments would be to install gnome shell or, who knows, even KDE by that time using the

Hi all, So as some of you may have heard, Canonical has plans to stop maintaining unity 2D in future development cycles. This makes sense because spending double the resources trying to keep 2 desktops in feature parity is a lot of work, and those resources can be used much better elsewhere. The

Hi Tony. I had a similar problem but it was solved removing the folloing folder: .gconf/apps/metacity It is present in your home directory. I think that you need reboot the system after remove the folder. Probably a good idea is to do a backup of the folder before the remove. On 05/09/2012 02:
