Limitations and Tips
- This version of Unity does NOT have Places or the Dash, these will come back for Alpha 2.
- For now, be sure to use Humanity or Humanity-Dark icon themes. Others will cause Unity 3.0 alpha to crash.

How and where to file bugs
Crash bugs
For Alpha 1, the most valuable bug reports are crash reports.
After installing, enable apport: edit /etc/default/apport, set enabled=1 and restart you computer. Once activated the system should detect crashes and prompt you to report those.
Non crash bugs
The best way to log a bug is to use this command:
ubuntu-bug unity
It will collect the required details and send you to launchpad to write your bug description.
(If you build Unity from source or want to open a bug without using ubuntu-bug please follow this guide)
