Unity Installation Guide
This page documents how you can try out Unity 3.0 on your Ubuntu system.
Note: This software is pre-alpha. You should be comfortable with being able to downgrade multiple packages if you want to go back to a stable desktop, otherwise we recommend not trying this on a production machine. Alpha 1 will have a more stable version. |
Limitations and Tips
- 32 bit users will experience major glitches until the next PPA update.
- This version of Unity does NOT have Places or the Dash, these will come back for Alpha 2.
- It's normal that clicking on the Ubuntu button does nothing.
- The session to log in in GDM is now "Ubuntu Desktop"
- For now, be sure to use Humanity or Humanity-Dark icon themes. Others will cause Unity 3.0 alpha to crash.
Natty PPA
Unity is available in the Unity PPA.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install unity
Then restart Compiz or log out and log back into your desktop session. Finally start CompizConfig Settings Manager (/usr/bin/ccsm) and then search for and enable the Unity plugin!
Natty from source
You'll need a fully updated Natty system, with the latest compiz and bamfdaemon packages installed.
You'll then need to do do this:
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libcairo2-dev libpng12-dev libglew1.5-dev libglewmx1.5-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libsigc++-2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev doxygen cmake build-essential debhelper pkg-config valac intltool libgee-dev libunique-dev libclutter-1.0-dev libclutter-gtk-0.10-dev libclutk-dev libbamf-dev gsettings-desktop-schemas-dev libgconf2-dev libglib2.0-dev libdbusmenu-glib-dev libgnome-desktop-dev libgtk2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libgnomeui-dev libdee-dev libindicator-dev libunity-misc-dev libutouch-grail-dev libxcb-icccm1-dev compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-dev libboost-dev libboost-serialization-dev libmetacityprivate-dev
to get all the dependencies.
You'll need to build compiz manually as well - but first one library that Unity depends on but isn't yet packaged in Natty called Nux:
bzr branch lp:nux cd nux ./autogen.sh --disable-documentation --prefix=/opt/unity make sudo make install
and then Compiz with the glib mainloop integration patch (will go into core at some point)
core:
git clone git://git.compiz.org/users/dbo/compiz-with-glib-mainloop cd compiz-with-glib-mainloop mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/unity make sudo make findcompiz_install sudo make install
exporting paths:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/unity/lib/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH} export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/unity/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} export LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/unity/lib:${LD_RUN_PATH}
libcompizconfig:
git clone git://git.compiz.org/compiz/compizconfig/libcompizconfig cd libcompizconfig mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/unity make sudo make install
compizconfig-python:
git clone git://git.compiz.org/compiz/compizconfig/compizconfig-python cd compizconfig-python python setup.py install --prefix=/opt/unity
ccsm:
git clone git://git.compiz.org/compiz/compizconfig/ccsm cd ccsm python setup.py install --prefix=/opt/unity
plugins-main:
git clone git://git.compiz.org/compiz/plugins-main cd plugins-main git submodule init git pull origin master git submodule update mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/unity make sudo make install
plugins-extra:
git clone git://git.compiz.org/compiz/plugins-extra cd plugins-extra git submodule init git pull origin master git submodule update mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/unity make sudo make install
and then Unity:
bzr branch lp:unity cd unity mkdir build; cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCOMPIZ_PLUGIN_INSTALL_TYPE=package -CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/unity make sudo make install
unsetting paths:
unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH unset LD_RUN_PATH
add this to your /home/$USER/.bashrc
function compiz-unity-setup-env { export PATH=/opt/unity/bin:${PATH} export PYTHONPATH=/opt/unity/lib/python2.6/site-packages }
and finally, once that's installed, you can log out and log in and again and then run compiz-unity-setup-env and then restart Compiz (compiz --replace ccp) and then use CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) to search for and enable the Unity plugin!
Maverick PPA
Coming Soon
Maverick from source
Exactly the same as above in Natty, but you'll first need Compiz 0.9.2 patched with glib support. There aren't any packages yet but there is a build script for it in the unity source under the "tools/" directory. After installing that, make sure to update you PKG_CONFIG_PATH and you can then follow the same instructions as Natty.
What to do when it Crashes
As this is prealpha code it can crash sometimes, unchecking the Unity plugin in CCSM will stop unity from running.
