Hey Tad, sorry you’re having trouble getting back to gnome (or ‘classic ubuntu’). Which version of Ubuntu are you running? That guide was written for 11.04 and I’m not sure it applies to 11 .10 or not.

Not as far as I know Shivi, at least not without jailbreaking.

Hey Norman, thanks for the comment. I’m glad the script has been working and is useful for you.
In regards to the banes with spaces: ihavent tried it yet, but I think you would just need to enclose the name in quotes or escape the space using a slash. I’ll give it a try later when tonight and let you know.

I worked partly after I installed Gnome extras (using Synaptic). Only at login those additional choices do appear. However some things do not work. First, the upper bar shows only Applications and Places, but System disappeared. Besides, I tried to put some favorite application icons on the tool bar but nothing happens when I click on it! Anything else I should install?

A less important remark: the LogOut/Shutdown menu does not offer the Restart option.

None of the above worked for me on my Ubuntu 11.10:

(1) At the Login Screen the options are: Recovery Console, Ubuntu, Ubuntu 2D, User Defined Session. No Ubuntu Classic!

(2) No Login option in System Settings.

(3) Only User Accounts appears if I search for Login.

Any other suggestions?

Hi there,
I just tried your terminal code for batch zipping and converting to CBZ format it works a treat thank you. I have run into a problem though and that it the code does not work for Folder names with paces in them eg: “chobits 001, chobits 002. . . etc” is there a way to change the code a little so that I can include spaces in the folder names?

Feel free to talk to me like a moron this is the first time I have ever attempted to use the terminal.

Thanks for your time

Just select “Ubuntu” instead of “Ubuntu Classic” (as shown above). The regular “Ubuntu” desktop is Unity.
