Hello there,

Tired to use Unity (slow, crashes), I wanted to going back to the Ubuntu Classic.

During reboot to confirm this selection. I have the login screen, and then the pink screen, the hourglass and then nothing. I tried to restart in debug mode, reset in the params, but nothing helped. A "unity --reset" neither.

How to go back,to Unity, or to repair this?

thank you
Fabrice

Can you see the desktop? I assume you can but there are no panels etc. So, right click your desktop and choose "Create Launcher..."

Name it whatever and for command, type:


gdmsetup

Now double click the newly created Launcher and choose 'Ubuntu' as your default session. If 'Ubuntu' was already selected, you probably need to take a look at this one.

I have only remote access to Ubuntu desktop machine (I use NX Machine client and server). For that reason I can't use Unity 3D, so I installed Unity-2D, which it is not bad, but still buggy (the headers of all windows disappear).
The problem is, that I can't switch to Classic mode, because Login Screen "Unlock" button doesn't work. I tried sudo gdmsetup:

but it doesn't help.

Any idea how can I get Classic mode?
