I am using a computer system with the gnome desktop system, with which I am not able to work properly (resizing of windows does not work etc). Therefore I would like to install the unity-desktop. Is that possible on Redhat (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.8 (Santiago))? And if so, how? A simple yum install unity did not find anything....

For the last bit, unity (and perhaps other things?) would crash after something like 20-30 minutes of use. First my launchbar would disappear, all of the upper right hand icons disappear and then all my programs freeze. If I press my power button, the login/shutdown/restart screen shows up but all the text is squares. Then the entire GUI freezes. If I manage to open up a terminal before everything stops and I type in 'unity', it says that the command isn't recognised. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm trying to disable the right third of my monitor, since it's broken. I can get less to be displayed using xrandr, but the monitor will then center the displayed stuff, so that's not quite what I want. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04. Please let me know if more information would be useful, preferably along with a method for finding that info :P.

The colors on Windows are much less saturated. Why is that? The fonts are much more crisper. I have installed msfonts on Ubuntu, and it's better, but still the Windows fonts are different. Check the screenshot I have done from both systems in the same browser. The colors are much more saturated in all browsers on Linux. Here is the difference: And here is the detail (notice the yellow and green instead of green on Linux): The font on Windows is more crisp and easier to read. The Xubuntu fonts no matter if I use Droid, DeJaVu, Ubuntu etc. is painful for my eyes. Why do I have different colors for the same things in Windows and Linux? I have tried Chrome and Firefox in both Linux (Xubuntu) and Windows and Windows versions have the colors less saturated and darker so it's more pleasant to read. Also, the fonts are not so bold, and they are much easier to read than on Linux. I have noticed the same color issue in Ubuntu's Unity too. If you have a little time and can do a screenshot, please, upload a portion of a Google results search (like mine) so I (and others) can see if you have different colors or the same colors as me. Thank you. ### Update As I have found out [[here]](http://blog.codinghorror.com/whats-wrong-with-apples-font-rendering/) and [[here]](http://blog.codinghorror.com/font-rendering-respecting-the-pixel-grid/) the problem I am facing is probably the missing font smoothing technique called ClearType by Microsoft on Linux/Apple machines. Linux/Apple use a different approach when rendering fonts. Microsoft use ClearType technology and others use some other antialiasing technology. In short, smaller fonts looks less blurry on Windows and are harder to read on Linux/Mac. Which is useful while using a browser all the day. I simply cannot use a browser on Linux and Mac. My head starts aching, and the eyestrain is really bad, and my body tells my to go back to Windows.

I've moved to Debian 12 just yesterday and when I downloaded Unity I was presented with a flickering red scene, I watched this tutorial that says to disable Auto Graphics API for Linux and move Vulkan above OpenGLCore. It worked but whenever I open the project it closes after it loads, it doesn't seem like it crashed because when a Unity project crashes you get a pop up window. The tutorial talked about the problem and his solution was to apt update and then apt upgrade, but that didn't work.

I am using Ubuntu 15.10 with unity on a Lenovo Thinkpad T460s laptop. **A few seconds after I login my laptop screen as well as the external monitor go blank** (i.e., black) for a very **short time**. I managed to trace back the following **log entries** in Xorg.0.log which were written exactly when the screens go blank: [ 18772.673] (II) intel(0): switch to mode 1920x1200@60.0 on HDMI2 using pipe 1, position (0, 0), rotation normal, reflection none [ 18773.291] (II) intel(0): switch to mode 1600x900@60.0 on eDP1 using pipe 0, position (1920, 106), rotation normal, reflection none Here is my **system configuration** (Lenovo Thinkpad T460s): $ uname -a Linux impetus 4.2.0-34-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 10 22:13:01 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ glxinfo [...] OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Skylake ULT GT2 OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 11.0.2 OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30 [...] - Processor: 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz - Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 520 **Question:** Any ideas how to fix this issue?

Currently, I'm working on a project to develop a Simulator based on Unity. I wish to install Unity within the docker environment but I don't have much knowledge on how to do it. If anyone could guide me would be really helpful.

So something you often see on blogs and such are articles about how to install different DEs on your favorite Linux distributions. It kinda bothers me that people talk so casually about doing this, especially when they're addressing novice users, because in my experience all this does is lead to things breaking and theming configurations to be ruined. I remember installing KDE once on an Ubuntu Mate installation and it made all my windows unreadable and ugly. I just installed Cinnamon on my Unity partition the other day, and when I went back to Unity, the top panel no longer said "Unity Desktop" when no windows were active and the icons on the launcher no longer bounced, even though they were set to do so in the configuration application. I can only assume this happened because I installed Cinnamon. So clearly every DE is going to assume that it's the only one installed, and it's going to change settings and configurations so its own liking, regardless of whatever other DE you have installed. My question is: are all these DEs writing to and reading from the same "core" configuration files, and if so, where are they? To me, it seems like something like that is going on considering how they conflict with each other. It would be really nice if I was able to install multiple desktop environments that didn't conflict or cause each other to break in some way.

I am running Ubuntu 17.10 with Unity and i3. While configuring fonts for i3 at some point all of my fonts started looking very jaggy. I was using lxappearence to set my system fonts there. Both on i3 and Unity, the fonts on the system look horrible. But in applications like emacs and slack the fonts are perfect. Here emacs has great rendering of the font. Here are the things I have tried: 1) removed ~/.config/dconf/user 2) installed latest nvidia graphic drivers 3) removed the fonts I was using before this thing happened 4) I ran fc-cache -f -v nothing seemed to work... The output of xrdb -query *customization: -color Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium Xft.rgba: rgb Xcursor.size: 24 Xcursor.theme: DMZ-White We can see that antialiasing is on. I experimented with it with different values in lxappearance but no success there, Here is another strange thing. The first time this happened, only firefox browser content (not the url and the tabs) had destroyed fonts. After one reboot, the whole firefox with some other apps had ugly fonts (the system fonts were fine). After another reboot the system fonts all went to hell. Please help as to how to fix my fonts problem.

The Linux distro TROMjaro, based on Manjaro, offers a HUD feature. This feature is similar to the HUD feature of Ubuntu Unity, allowing you to search through the menu items of an application. TROMjaro offers this feature on the XFCE desktop. *Does anyone know what package or project is used to accomplish this?* I would like to add the HUD feature to an XFCE desktop on distros other than TROMjaro. If anyone knows what software is used to accomplish this please link to the landing page or installation instructions.

I'm trying to take a screenshot of Firefox running on Unity/Ubuntu 16.04 inside VirtualBox 5.1.2. Pressing Prt Scrn pops open a little app called **Screenshot** but the screenshot shown is only ever the desktop, with no application windows visible. My host operating system is Windows 10 Pro. Does anyone know how to resolve this and get screenshot functionality working inside VirtualBox?

In the Xpra documentation , it says that you can remotely access a Linux desktop with a command like: xpra start-desktop ssh://user@192.168.0.2 --start=fluxbox How would you do this if Ubunty Unity 22.04 is the remote desktop you're trying to access? I have xpra installed on both the client and the "server" (from the default repository), and I also have openssh-server installed on the Ubuntu Unity workstation: sudo apt install xpra openssh-server From Debian 11, I tried to access the Ubuntu Unity desktop like this: xpra start-desktop ssh://user@192.168.0.2 --start=ubuntu-unity-desktop And got this error: > Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system > can't recover. Please log out and try again. [ Log Out ]

I'm trying to create a simple bash one line script that allows me to pick a particular barcode that's visible on my screen and make it available as text on my clipboard. To that effect, I wrote a bash script that aims to capture a part of the screen with gnome-screenshot into a PNG file, inspect that file with zbarimg and make whatever it outputs available to be pasted with xclip. Here's what I wrote: tfile=$(mktemp -u -p ~).png && gnome-screenshot -a -f $tfile && zbarimg -q --raw $tfile | xclip; rm $tfile Just after I run this script it does request me to capture a part of the screen (exactly what gnome-screenshot is supposed to do), the screenshot file is created, but after that it seems that xclip runs and waits for input forever, as if zbarimg didn't output anything. Does anyone have a suggestion to solve this issue?

thanks for taking the time to look this over. It used to be that one could use Crouton to help install Ubuntu on Chrome OS. I did this years ago. It seems the newer versions of Chrome don't allow Crouton anymore. Just wondering if there's a way to install, say, the Unity desktop running either alongside or instead of the OS that makes with the chromebooks. Note: I tried the Linux stuff that now comes with the newer versions of Google's OS. But I don't know if that's the answer or, if so, how to utilize it to install Ubuntu.

I am just curious to know if there is any kind of relation between Unity(the latest shell interface for gnome in ubuntu) and the Unity game engine, apart from having the same name ? I saw my friends developing gesture recognition based software using Unity game engine and I use Ubuntu 12.04(uses unity interface) for everything.

A few days ago, I found out that the O key on my keyboard doesn't work. I have seen a few similar topics with this problem, but none of them seemed to be solved. - When I tap the key - nothing happens. - When I hold it - outputs "oooooo". - When I use Shift - "O". - And when I turn Caps Lock on and hold Shift - "o". It doesn't even work when I am using a USB keyboard either. From what I have read, it seems to be an issue with Compiz, window manager of Unix. However, I did not manage to find the solution to this problem. Is there anyone who encountered the same issue or/and manage to solve it? PS: I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. PPS: This is the output of xev when I press the O key: FocusOut event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor FocusOut event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer FocusIn event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor KeymapNotify event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x0, keys: 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x4000001, root 0xc6, subw 0x0, time 2214796, (177,133), root:(2162,185), state 0x10, keycode 32 (keysym 0x6f, o), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (6f) "o" XFilterEvent returns: False

I installed telegram-desktop via Flatpak and would like to auto start the messenger when logging into Gnome 3 (or Unity as a fact). Is there a way to robustly do so?

My Ubuntu background is totally black when I log in. I can open the terminal, write command so that i open other programs, but I am unable to see any of it.

I am using Unity3D on Arch Linux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unity3D for game development. I have a Nvidia GTX 1650. All my nvidia packages are up to date (tensorflow-gpu for example works fine). But when I run a game within unity3D it does not use the GPU at all. How can I instruct unity3D to use the GPU when developing games? Details of my GPU below:
