What keeps the world in chains but your beliefs?
And what can save the world except your Self?
Belief is powerful indeed.
I' m still having the same problem I had in my earlier post, unity is still present. I think the trouble is that I have it set to automatic login so the choice to use classic isn't there. Is it possible/okay to simply remove unity entirely?
thanks

I found that unity just caused me a lot of problems. I removed it entirely after installing GNOME classic. I have no more problems.
To remove unity;

There is always a way, but it might not be the best way, or your way!
I personally recommend NOT removing Unity! I can only assume that mystmaiden didn't know how to log out, change sessions, and log back in. I'll try to improve that part of my OP
But if someone follows these instructions:

Do NOT bother me with a query about how to fix things
I think that's a truly bone-headed idea!
It may well be, I wouldn't know. I tried it and it worked. I am not particularly bone-headed. If something works I consider it successful. It solved a lot of problems I was having.
Nevertheless, I would be most interested in hearing WHY you think it is bone-headed. Not just that it is.

Please post a link to your earlier post. I'm looking here:

And I don't get it
I assume you only need to log out and log back in following this guide - choosing Gnome classic (no effects):

There is always a way, but it might not be the best way, or your way!
Also, I certainly do not want to give people advice which might cause them problems.
So, could you elaborate please?

Since it's my thread, and it's marked solved, I expect to get questions regarding this thread ............. I'm subscribed
I think it's my responsibility to point out what I do or DO NOT recommend!
This thread explicitly, even by title alone, deals only with Precise classic (no effects), whereas your link says:
That is beyond the scope of this thread!I strongly recommend you to install any other desktop environments like Mate, KDE , OpenBox, FluxBox, LXDE or XFCE
I'm trying to be very precise (no pun intended) about what is being installed or uninstalled to prevent total breakage of Ubuntu
But I'm using Oneiric right now, due to a specific bug in Precise, so let me log into Precise and I'll be very specific about why your recommendation is boneheaded
