I've upograded 10.04 to 10.10 on my netbook. The unity interface doesn't work for me, it just gets in the way. I can change the gdm choice at boot to put me into good ol' gnome, which is better than unity but not nearly as nice as the 10.04 UNR. How do I install the UNR interface on top of 10.10? Is there a how to - can't see anything useful on the ubuntu site, everyone there is trying to pretend that unity is great.

    I don't think this is a dupe, gersoid wants the old UNR not a normal desktop. Is that right? – Jorge Castro Nov 04 '10 at 14:06
  • correct. I can rewind to the normal GNOME desktop fairly easily, I want the 10.04 UNR interface back, I liked that a lot. –  Nov 04 '10 at 16:53

You can install the ubuntu-netbook-efl and ubuntu-netbook-efl-default-settings packages (using apt-get or the Software Center) to get one of the 2 versions of the old netbook interface (the one that doesn't require 3D support).

I think there is small mistake in JanC reply. Correct packages are:

  • ubuntu-netbook-efl-default-settings

  • netbook-launcher-efl

Then logout and select 2d session.

According to chris as posted here,

Go to the Ubuntu Software Center and use the search box in the upper right corner. Search for "ubuntu-netbook" and remove the packages ubuntu-netbook and ubuntu-netbook-default-settings.

Or less graphically:

 sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-netbook ubuntu-netbook-default-settings

worked for me. And I concur, Unity was not ready enough for me.

  • If I do that do I just go back to gnome (which I can do anyway) or do I get the 10.04 UNR look+feel? –  Nov 04 '10 at 12:48
  • It made it like I never installed Unity and everything looked, felt, and worked like vanilla Lucid/Maverick. – msw Nov 04 '10 at 12:49

Add a sudo apt-get purge unity* on top of that, and you'll be rid of it all ;)
