Hi was fiddling around with my Mom's netbook - which ran dual boot windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10.
It hadn't been updated for ages and well i updated / upgraded it - First good news - Nothing broke and its still functional Then the bad - lots of stuff got changed around and now it was running the vanilla 10.04 with its left side placement of those top thingys (never remember what they are called) The missing Network manager applet , the not being able to connect to the network etc. All the usual problems one gets, all of which get resolved with some googling. Then the one that was not so easy. My mom had an interface that i had not seen before its called the netbook launcher , its meant for small screens , to make the menus larger and easier to use. That was missing and my mom was very very upset and was very clear that henceforth i should stay away from her machine. Anyway some more googling for netbook desktop interface and i found this cool interface - so cool that i have installed it on mine and really love it. Esp since it can be stopped any time. So check it out , install by -$ apt-get install netbook-launcher or through Administration - Synaptic ** then just run netbook-launcher from the command line and see the nice new interface. ** ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
