Install the python-numpy package so that unity-tweak-tool run
Installed python-numpy, but Unity Tweak Tool doesn’t open.
hello my friend python-twisted can work I hope it works
That too doesn’t work.
maybe you have not installed notify-osd
That too is there, but doesn’t matter. Thanks anyway.I needed UTT only to have the hotcorners, but I have that another way.
unity-tweak-tool would have to be reworked to account for no desktop support in gnome/nautilus.
Specifically the section System > Desktop Icons which is now useless anyway. ( so it could/should be removed.
If one really wanted to use as is it would run by editing a few of the installed python scripts… I wouldn’t bother… setting are available elsewhere…
Walter,
Thank you for your kind words.
I hope to refresh-up a bit and perhaps put out a BB 18.04.1 unity-desktop-remix since I still have a license to distribute officially or correct me if i am wrong.
Does any one else have a license to distribute unity-remix?
2nd. After I get this done I would try for a 19.04 remix iso.
@khurshid -alam
could you paste a list of actions to do for 18.04.1 to set it up for unity desktop. I am using Cubic iso maker.
Thanks

I would suggest that in addition to what’s provided by ubuntu-unity.desktop adding xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package so laptop users get proper settings panel.
(it should have been added as a recommend to ubuntu-unity.desktop, never was…
Additionally inquire as to fixes for the by default broken alt+PrtSc (print window) and re-enabling the use of desktop background in the greeter.
As far as 19.04 - if something isn’t provided to handle the Desktop then the edges are getting significantly frayed…

Thanks mac3man. Will do. Perhaps I’ll have an iso by tomorrow at my ftp site.
I just ran the 19.04 daily gnome3 iso and lo and behold I thought I was looking at unity-desktop. Nice job of gnome3 team to incorporate some of the unity flowcharts. Only thing obviously missing was the unity dash etc . So I’ll try to wrangle out a unity desktop remix with what I have here using cubic and daily 19.04.
My new thinking is that if we could put out a more gentle and minimal spin of unity, with the work ability and security that maveric and lucid had, then mabey we can still opt in for official status maybe sooner than later.

Let us know if you need any help with the application for official flavor.
Something else I would like to propose, just for discussion, is the possibility to relate the Unity 7 project with the Unity 8 project. I mean, to return to the old idea of seeing Unity 8 as the next version of Unity 7. Unity 8 still lacks all the desktop features, but the Unity 8 project presumably will get quite a bit of progress this year. Maybe it is worth opening a new thread for exchanging ideas about this.
Official flavor is ubuntu but this thread for unity only. But you can help testing unity (and apps) in disco. We are experiencing some issues with unity itself.
No. That’s not possible. All the unity8 components have been removed from repo.
We are trying to get official status as a desktop but khurshid is right. We are not official flavor.
I want to do a build with mini.iso using cubic and than we can perhaps re-apply for official status to the Technical Board. I am open to any help possible to get this done. This would allow faster downloads using ubuntu servers and testing etc.

It appears that no compiz plugin button setting can be changed, enabled, edited, ect. in ccsm for any plugin.
The only thing can can be done is if enabled by default they’ll be disabled.
If set by other means they all work, but as is there’s no way to set anymore.
Simple example, ccsm > Expo > try to set Expo Button, can not be set.
I noticed that is also the issue in cosmic. Can you confirm? And please open a bug against compiz in disco ?
Fixed media keys in disco. You can try installing unity-settings-daemon from the ppa.
Already done in unity-settings-daemon. Try enabling background plugin from org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.background active true
I am trying to include caja-desktop as background drawing keeping nautilus default. See https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues/1126
Install patched caja and u-s-d and ucc from ppa. Test if this working properly for you.
Creating a patch for UTT. But I did not get nod from caja or unity team either.
In re: to ppa.
Seems here that both the control-center and settings-daemon both crash here on fresh install (that new .iso of venticals
The settings-daemon immediately, control panel on use. Both show same apport title, ’ signal5 in g_ object_new_valist(), both same terminal output, " GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 03:49:02.970: Settings schema ‘org.mate.background’ is not installed"
Theming is all wrong…
That schema is in mate-desktop-common & though that package does stop crash it has effect of finishing the wrong theming. (adwaita or some ‘variant’ of…
Theming can subsequently be corrected in the tweaks app, but not in unity’s appearance panel
Yes in the ppa I am testing with caja. So you need to install mate-desktop and caja.
And I am uploading a new version with correct dependency.
Update: I have uploaded caja, u-c-c and u-s-d in the ppa now.
I see a couple of minor issues. (fresh updated install, ppa added, upgraded, caja installed.
caja needs to be user installed to get Desktop support.
The unity launcher doesn’t update to new background color in the session the background is changed in.
When any window is open there is a white line down r. side of screen.
Maybe caja-unity-autostart.desktop should be NoDisplay=false ? ( odd chance some users don’t want Desktop…
I guess caja becomes new default file manager for folders on Desktop?, don’t think that matters much either way.
As far as anything else during use will have to use a bit.

As a comparison to caja handling the Desktop set up a ppa with nemo to do that. Best compared on a separate install to one with caja setup as above.
https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/tests13
After adding ppa, install nemo, log out or reboot. Nemo will automatically take over handling Desktop 2 sec after logging in.
Minor differences to current with caja (on initial, not use cases…
nautilus remains default file manager (can be user altered
Can be disabled in startup applications
No screen artifacts
launcher color updated immediately on background change
(- I also notice that unity-greeter is showing Desktop background, did the fix make it into Ubuntu repos?
As to best for use I’m sure both caja & nemo have pluses and minuses …
Note that ppa is just for compare, will not be maintained. The compiz there is just for quicklists in nemo, prevents busy cursor syndrome.
Changes to nemo are in debian/patches folder, the autostart is handled via a symlink…
