Hello
 
jrg
jrg
Welcome!
So, I have a few questions.
 
billzt
billzt
OK
 
jrg
jrg
first, was this a clean install or an upgrade?
 
billzt
billzt
Do you mean Ubuntu or just libreoffice?
 
jrg
jrg
Ubuntu.
 
billzt
billzt
12:47 PM
I install Ubuntu on a new partion of disk, but use /home for the previous version
 
jrg
jrg
Hm. OK.
 
billzt
billzt
because I want to keep previous own files
 
jrg
jrg
Here's my theory - Unity might be acting up from some weird config from 11.04.
 
billzt
billzt
previouly I use 10.04
 
jrg
jrg
Ok, that's even weirder....

Hi @billzt
@billzt Can i please have the name of the icon pack you are using?
 
billzt
billzt
oo,I have to take out dictionary, My english isn't good
 
Amith KK
Amith KK
@billzt No problem :D
 
billzt
billzt
@AmithKK What's the meaning of icon pack?
 
jrg
jrg
You have some launcher icons that don't appear to be the originals.
Amith thinks that your problem might be related to the "icon pack", or the collection of icons. :)
 
billzt
billzt
@jrg Yes, in fact I use another icon theme
@AmithKK OK, Let me see
@AmithKK ???
 
jrg
jrg
12:54 PM
:2175882 Come again?
 
Amith KK
Amith KK
nvm
:P
 
jrg
jrg
ok. :)
 
billzt
billzt
I use icon theme: gnome-icon-theme-gartoon-redux
installed from software-center
 
jrg
jrg
Ah, gotcha. Ok, so it's an official icon theme, so it's not related to that.....
 
Amith KK
Amith KK
its official!
@billzt Login into Unity 2d
 
billzt
billzt
12:58 PM
@AmithKK You mean I log into unity 2d and try such operation?
 
jrg
jrg
Yes.

A: How do I install and switch to the Unity 2D desktop?

jrgFor 11.10 Users of 11.10 have Unity 2D installed by default already. To use it, logout, you will be confronted by the LightDM manager. Then, click the little cog wheel, and select Ubuntu 2D. Then, enter your password, hit Enter and you'll be logged into Unity 2D.

That answer provides somewhat details instructions.
 
Amith KK
Amith KK
@billzt And also, try changing to the english language pack
 
jrg
jrg
@AmithKK one thing at a time. ;)
 
billzt
billzt
OK, I'll leave and have a try
@jrg Oops, am I wrong? I select Ubuntu 2D in lightdm but again I enter unity 3D? How to judge whether I'm using 2D or 3D?
 
jrg
jrg
They look very alike, which is a good thing. You're in unity 2d.
 
billzt
billzt
1:08 PM
How to judge it?
 
jrg
jrg
This has a list of the various differences - askubuntu.com/questions/62001/am-i-using-unity-or-unity-2d
 
Amith KK
Amith KK
@billzt Open terminal and type killall unity-2d-launcher&&unity-2d-launcher
 
jrg
jrg
@billzt don't do that
@AmithKK they landed a bug the day before release that keeps unity 2d from restarting.
 
billzt
billzt
After reading the passage, I think I'd better log again, perhaps I'm wrong
 
Amith KK
Amith KK
@jrg O.o
 
jrg
jrg
1:12 PM
@AmithKK Yeah, i know right?
@billzt go ahead, and if you still think you're in 3D, you're probably in 2D.
The first time I used 2D in 11.10, i thought I was using 3D.
 
Amith KK
Amith KK
@jrg Same there
 
billzt
billzt
Hi, I log again and this time it was really 2D
 
jrg
jrg
Ok, can you open libreoffice to see if it does the same thing?
 
billzt
billzt
@jrg Now it is OK
I tried several times , OK
 
jrg
jrg
Hm.
 
billzt
billzt
1:20 PM
@jrg How does this problem comes? ~~~
 
jrg
jrg
ok, guess it's time to report a bug.
 
Amith KK
Amith KK
BUG TIME!
 
billzt
billzt
@jrg but in fact there exits more bugs in unity 2d, so I didn't use it before
for example, system white tray list didn't work for 'all'
 
jrg
jrg
Well, I agree it's buggier.
 
billzt
billzt
@jrg Should I turn to gnome-shell ^_^
How do you think about it?
 
jrg
jrg
1:25 PM
I'm fine with gnome-shell.
 
Amith KK
Amith KK
Me too
go for it!
 
billzt
billzt
Really?
 
jrg
jrg
Ok, I'll report this as a bug on launchpad for you. If you have further questions, go ahead and ask and we'll see if we can answer them. :)
 
billzt
billzt
I just find it is very hard to install gnome-shell extensions
 
jrg
jrg
Yup, really.
 
billzt
billzt
1:26 PM
@jrg Thank you
 
jrg
jrg
Well, I don't care about extensions, as a desktop plain, untweaked it works fine for me. :)
 
Amith KK
Amith KK
@billzt Reallllyy!
 
jrg
jrg
@billzt you're welcome! :)
 
billzt
billzt

billzt
billzt

Amith KK
Amith KK
@billzt No, it doesn't make sleep go away, but i heard it makes windozyness go away
 
billzt
billzt
@jrg Oops, I come back to unity 3D and find it seems good again
 
jrg
jrg
@billzt Heh, that's the way bugs go.
I haven't reported it yet, I guess I won't do it then.
