Ubuntu Gnome Seeking Long Term Support Status

Posted by Unknown on from the release-early-maintain-forever dept.

sfcrazy writes "The Ubuntu Gnome team wants to join the elite club of Ubuntu flavors which enjoy the LTS (Long Term Support) status. Ubuntu 14.04 will be an LTS release making it a good time for the Ubuntu Gnome flavor to be promoted since it will be two more years before the next LTS release."

    sudo apt-get -y install gnome
    sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s gnome-classic

    sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-session

        1. Winkey-Alt-Rightclick on the clock in the panel and select "Remove".
            (This deletes ALL the default items in the Panel, by deleting the "Indicator Applet Complete".)
        2. Winkey-Alt-Rightclick on the Panel and select "Add to Panel". Select "Indicator Applet Session"
        3. Winkey-Alt-Rightclick on the Panel and select "Add to Panel". Select "User Menu"
        4. Winkey-Alt-Rightclick on the Panel and select "Add to Panel". Select "Clock"
        5. Winkey-Alt-Rightclick on the Panel and select "Add to Panel". Select "Indicator Applet"

    # sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

      Go to system tools > preferences > compizconfig
      Check "Windows Management" > "Static Application Switcher" (WARNING: "Application Switcher" hangs the machine.)
      Check "Extras" > "Window Previews"

    # Precise:
    # sudo gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface ubuntu-overlay-scrollbars false
    # Raring:
    # sudo gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
