I think this reflects my way of thinking, as my mentality, and logical thinking.
But I do understand Gnome/Unity want to compete with OS X and Win7, and we need snazzy window managers then.

Ok, I think you're missing the question. I'm all up about choice, don't get me wrong.
My question is more along the lines of, why do we have these resource consumer WM.

Hi all,

as per suggestion on Ask Ubuntu I've posted same question here in the forums:

I see... Still Unity represents a very large change compared to what users are used to...
And the reputational damage isn't something that will be repaired easily...

Dear Mark/Ubuntu community,

I find quite astonishing that in Ubuntu 11.10 the old 2D interface has been removed for good.
Installing
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
doesn't quite cut it.

Do you recommend this as a full fix or as a fix to then re-source the amended profile at each login?

Hi guys,

Apparently Skype video is broken (i.e. is dark whilst is ok with Cheese as example) in Natty (11.04).

I'd rather not update the default version in 11.04.
Anyway, managed to fix it with a sort of hack (I don't think modern distros should rely on this).

Here the answer:...

I've fixed that applying the following command in ~/.profile:


alsactl restore

(I've seen a similar solution here: http://itbubbles.wordpress.com/2011/04/29/ubuntu-11-04-fight-for-microphone/...

Hi,

apparently in Natty we still use 1.0.23.

Cheers,

Ps. Perhaps you guys have a hint for an issue I'm experiencing here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10881251

Yes. Unfortunately no luck at all.

Btw, if I execute:


cat /proc/asound/version
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23.

Is this the correct version?

Btw I got the following alsa version:

!!ALSA Version
!!------------

Driver version: 1.0.23
Library version: 1.0.24.1
Utilities version: 1.0.24.2

is that correct?

Hi,
