Seven showed up in all, one just to get the 12.04 LTS iso: no one had that with them, but the broadband onsite works well enough usually.<br>
<br>
This post from a trusty 12.04 install - GNOME 'classic - no effects' option. Will use it until there's something worth migrating to - probably Mint 17 over 14.04.<br>
<br>
On the Unity 14.04 I struck a bug where System Monitor (and then an installed Synaptic package) wouldn't display, though sidebar said they were running. Was this because I had a 32-bit Ubuntu DVD, running on the i3 quad-cores at the lab (that have 4GB RAM)? At home, on a Core2 Duo box, the same DVD didn't produce that fault (3GB RAM).<br>
<br>
But I've tried a native install of this now, with Unity working as it wants to. First try of the MATE 1.8 unsupported mod isn't nice though, generating a boot error then having no panels or any control menus when it started. At F2 the terminal font was tiny illegible but "reboot" got me back to work eventually..<br>
<br>
Will test the 64-bit 14.04 next.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
