I downloaded and tested Unubuntu 20.04 this evening. When it was the official desktop I was not particularly happy, mainly because my computers didnât have enough âhorsepowerâ.
I must say that I am impressed by this release. Thanks a lot everybody who have contributed during the last years
By the way, Iâm running it persistent live in a small SSD so that I can test it easily in different computers.
Not sure what youâve got going here, seems best suited for a live session.
For installs Iâd use an Ubuntu image, install ubuntu-unity-desktop and go from there.
Generally thatâs all youâve done with a few additions/subtractions/updates & some unneeded packages.
Whatâs your reasoning to use gdm3?
And if valid then why provide gnome-shell in wayland but not X sessions?
As far as installing and then switching to lightdm, not quite that simple.
For some reason lightdm-gtk-greeter & unity-greeter are already installed, the former takes precedence and is terrible⊠lightdm-gtk-greeter needs to be removed.
@mc3man A lot has changed since then. I had removed ubuntu-session (which was showing the âUbuntu on Waylandâ session). I had replaced GDM3 with LightDM (unity-greeter) and removed lightdm-gtk-greeter. I have created tools for Ubuntu Unity like devunity (a debugging tool for Unity7) etc. I replaced nautilus with nemo (on popular demand) and got rid of nautilus in the ISO, although I kept nautilus-data since it is an essential package for Unity7. And there are many customizations. Hence, Ubuntu Unity != vanilla Ubuntu + ubuntu-unity-desktop.
Nemo is not integrated with Deja Dup (Backup utility) as it is with Nautilus. There SEEMS to be a solution but canât find any direction on how to apply it. It SHOULD be part of the base installation howeverâŠ
@rs2009 found another discrepancy in the Unity/Nemo link. I know youâre aware of the âTrash Iconâ issue but on Bionic with the Unity Desktop installed, if I insert removable media or mount a network drive an icon appears in the launcher. This is not happening in the 20.04.1 Unity Remix system I have running. It shows up on the desktop, but not in the launcher.
Iâm using 20.04 (server + ubuntu-unity-desktop) and the icons for removable drives appear both on my desktop and in the launcher. Maybe this is just an issue specific to the remix iso.
@calico-cat likely as when I installed the unity-desktop on 20.04LTS I did not see this problem. The remix replaces nautilus with nemo, and nemo apparently needs the same patching that had been done to nautilus in the past in order to integrate fully with Unity.
@jaime-cruz@calico-cat Yes, the issue is with Nemo, as Nautilus is purged in the new remix ISOs. But it works in the previous versions of the remix where Nautilus wasnât removed. Iâm aware of these issues. Will take a look.
