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
- 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
Unity is available in Natty .
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!
Building Unity from Source - For developers
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.
