  1. Re: Now that the Unity hate has cooled down, how do you feel about the WM?

    Thanks. sudo apt-get install gnome-panel did the trick.
  2. Re: Now that the Unity hate has cooled down, how do you feel about the WM?

    Thanks. I appreciate your response and the response from Copper Bezel. I guess I'll probably try to go to 12.04 or jump to one of the other distributions. My installation of 11.10 is very strange....

  4. Re: Now that the Unity hate has cooled down, how do you feel about the WM?

    Still hate Unity on my netbook. My ubuntu 11.04 ended it's support at the end of October so I took a deep breath and upgraded to 11.10. I know Unity has its supporters, but I don't like it. The...

    Yeah. It looks like it might be more trouble than its worth. Count me as another person who is not impressed with Unity. It didn't display right on my netbook when I upgraded to 11.04. It was...
  6. [ubuntu] What is a good reason to upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10?

    [SOLVED] Re: problem with PATH

    Thanks to all who responded. Yes the problem seems to be with perl. I'll try to track down whether it's the 'shebang' line, which worked last week, or maybe perl wasn't happy with the upgrade. So...

    [SOLVED] Re: problem with PATH

    Let me restate my problem. I just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04.

    I need to run some Perl scripts on very large data files (over 100 million lines each).
