Notice: This’ll tell you now that you may know and to ‘the Tato’, but I accidentally found out very recently and wanted to share in these pages. I mean, before leaving Ubuntu because of Unity , stick with the distro, but an alternative desktop.

500x312 Ubuntu Cairo Dock Cairo, another way to enjoy a classic desktop without leaving Ubuntu

You know that there is no problem on Ubuntu install KDE, Xfce or any other desktop , but personally I find a bit of a filth, besides having such interesting options as Kubuntu or Xubuntu, you allowed to remain in the ecosystem of Canonical Ubuntu bypassing.

Bárcena almost everyone will know also that install the gnome-session-fallback or even gnome-panel , the traditional GNOME desktop will become part of the login options. In short, this method returns the classic desktop, or what remains of it (again now that GNOME 3.7 will fail to keep it, but as I have said several times and do not finish, we’ll wait and see what happens).

But, and I for one was not aware of it, install the dock known of GNOME, Cairo Dock, has award. The to have three new options to log :

session 500x375 Ubuntu Cairo Dock, another way to enjoy a classic desktop without leaving Ubuntu

As you see, I mean the first three options: Cairo stationery (with composition, as I have in capturing top), without effects and the Unity panel , which I find a bit pointless (what if you already serve with Cairo panel do you need?). Then it is configured the dock to taste.

no more to tell. Personally I’ve gotten used to Unity enough to prefer it to something (ie if I use Ubuntu with Unity I do, if only for consistency), but if there is anyone who still did not know the “trick” this and wants try …

Whom ye lay under the GNOME desktop classic , something I have repeated more than once: the answer is Xfce, the refuge of those who love GNOME 2. It is a simple, lightweight and stable, slowly gaining functionality. In fact, it is very easy to stop with the two panels of old and almost the same options.

 gnome2 xfce menu 500x245 Retrieves the classic menu in GNOME 2 Xfce, without installing anything

Once

discussed the advantages of Xfce, we will see a “trick” to get the old menu GNOME 2 as you can see in the image above these lines (I confess that I never ended that system, but I guess many of you it’s the opposite).

The trick is really

edit the Xfce menu by hand , as it was not long ago, not a very difficult task, but rather laborious. Fortunately, it’s about follow a few steps, copy and paste . Without the need to install anything.

But how to find the here, but where the author, XunilinuX , as originally published: in DesdeLinux. Mola mola ¿or

Linux Mint news , this time positive: Changing Ubuntu will own desktop shell called Cinnanom , designed to offer a true “classic experience” of quality, without losing either the best features of GNOME Shell on the way.

 gnome shell fork 500x281 cinnamon Linux Mint has its own shell, classic style

According to published Web

Upd8, Cinnanom is a fork of Gnome Shell started by Clement Lefebvre, Linux Mint project leader, which is in its early stages of development. It is based on some of the features offered by MGSE (Mint GNOME Shell Extensions), but it is assumed that the ultimate goal is to create your own desktop interface.

Cinnanom the image of this have in the header, and if you look and do not use the top bar of GNOME Shell-12 Linux Mint and unnecessary for many users-and WIN the system tray again where always , while the menu / view activities will remain.

currently there is much more to tell, but the news certainly is interesting. Why continue to insist on GNOME 2 with Mate had no future, and all four were well MGSE extensions to save time, but little else. So Linux Mint is positioned again regardless of their environment (technological, not desktop). How do you see PHP 5.x ?

exactly one month ago we published the news that Oxygen icons are renewed … for the worse. It was a personal opinion, but rather sheltered by a large majority of comments can be found on this topic. And no solution.

Apps oxygen Oxygen icon icons Retrieving classic

In fact the only icons that were renewed in the package were Oxygen belonging to folders , which adopted a Tango type appearance (classic icons GNOME) that at the end of the nineties had been resultón, but now … no.

Anyway, everyone likes, and is a solution for those who prefer “classic” style of icons Oxygen which, again, seem to be a majority on the basis of the comments may be find throughout the Internet.

KDE-Look Old Oxygen can be found, the package of icons SC KDE 4.6.2 , the latest version before the change. To install only have access to “System Preferences> Appearance Applications> Icons” and install the package from the downloaded file either locally, easier from the wizard “Get New Themes which appear under the same charge. Yes, currently available only in PNG graphics , not scalable SVG.

read and do not think so: it seems that Ubuntu developers are thinking about moving from Unity and include the traditional GNOME desktop as the default in Ubuntu 4.11 , which you only have three weeks to see the light …

Ubuntu U1104 11.04 Unity could go and stay with the GNOME desktop classic

Meeting the news

WEB UPD8 and the truth is it is like to catch it with tweezers, because the April 1 a few days ago has happened and not the oven buns … do you? Because Phoronix also publish the same.

The reasons for this unexpected change, which in no way official nor sure yet , would be reduced to Unity is not ready . Fails in usability, features and user experience, but especially in stability .

At least that’s what they get to clear the sites listed following this message in the mailing lists of the developers of Ubuntu. He is not alone, of course, and in April the files are to be found similar messages. Even UPD8 WEB highlight the image below:

 Ubuntu 11.04 500x414 unity Unity could happen and keep the GNOME desktop classic

And now there’s nothing more to tell. All is conjecture, n or nothing is clear yet and as you have informed you in detail, but this news I have not been invented when two sites I and fairly reliable as referred to publish something like this …

Canonical

bet by Unity as primary desktop interface for Ubuntu is something made by all at this point, in fact, many expect to win this little visual revolution and practice. Which at no time raised deny the user the ability to use the Classic environment GNOME . Until now.

 11.10 Unity ubuntu Ubuntu desktop is over classic

By now the news and the ensuing debate and traversing the network, following the announcement own Mark Shuttleworth , responsible for releasing the hare:

We made very good progress on a11y in Natty, pero will miss the goal of perfect a11y. We’ll nail it in oneiric. That’s OK, Because We Have the Classic desktop fallback in Natty, But Will Not in oneiric.

summary, the citation says Unity may not be fully ready for Ubuntu 11.04 , so for now it will allow users who do not meet the technical requirements (3D acceleration) can make use Classic interface GNOME, but it will definitely yes for the next version, which no possible alternative to Unity .

As discussed in OMG! Ubuntu!, One of the places where, as usual, Mom had this announcement impact is not something that we surprised many Unity will be the default desktop interface for all users of Ubuntu , not matter what the technical characteristics of your team, because for that there is also Unity 2D, right?
