    Re: Running GNOME Shell on top of Unity2D

    I get this error. I do have Unity installed and am running 12.04 classic 64 bit.

    Code:
    cmcanulty@HPTech:~$ unity-shell-2d --replace
    unity-shell-2d: command not found
    cmcanulty@HPTech:~$

    Re: Running GNOME Shell on top of Unity2D

    Great I got it up and running , is there a way to autohide it as I tried right click and nothing happened. I really want dash and not launcher but I can live with both if it autohides thanks!

    Re: Running GNOME Shell on top of Unity2D

    I now have another bug. I am running classic and the launcher sort of autohides but when it hides it becomes an empty blank launcher and covers the edge of firefox or anything else. See screenshot and please how do I fix? I also tried removing launcher in synaptic and a restart and the empty launcher is still there I see the correct launcher if I mouse over left edge but can't have the big empty space there all the time.

    + Create a text file with the below content and save it as unity2d.sh

    #!/bin/sh

    sleep 3 && unity-2d-shell
    + Open a terminal right where you save the file and

    Code:
    chmod +x unity2d.sh
    Or just right click on the file >> Properties and make it executable if you're using Nautilus.

    + Open startup manager, delete the old command (the one with unity-2d-shell) and put in the path to the text file you've just created in the command box. That will delay unity-2d-shell 3 seconds and give time for compiz manager to start first.

    If 3s doesn't work, try 5s The problem is unity-2d-shell must start after compiz. After a while using unity, it gets fatter (with recently used files, and app suggestions) therefore it may take for than 3s to load all those stuff. I suggest you remove some lens that you don't use (work around with unity-2d packages in synaptic). However, it will be simpler to just log out and log back (provided you have the script running to delay unity).

    I cannot get the launcher at all now, anything else to try? I did increase the delay to 5 and logged out and restarted.
