[08:53] <GeorgeJ> Hello
[08:53] <GeorgeJ> I'm having some issues with Unity on a new ubuntu install. The ctrl+alt+up/down do not work for switching workspaces. And ctrl+alt+left/right bring up a non-themed window for switching workspaces. How could I get the normal behavior again? This is a fresh install of ubuntu, and I've got this issue since the first boot.
[08:56] <GeorgeJ> Clicking the "Workspaces" icon on the taskbar does bring up the workspaces, just that the keybinds do not work
[09:03] <GeorgeJ> Also, Alt+tab doesn't seem to work as intended either
[09:24] <GeorgeJ> Neither does window snaping/auto resizing. What could be wrong? Unity seems to be broken for me, on a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 install
[10:06] <kamstrup> GeorgeJ: are you running unity2d or unity3d?
[10:07] <GeorgeJ> It's a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10. So unity2d I would guess
[10:07] <GeorgeJ> I have not installed compiz or anything else
[10:09] <GeorgeJ> No keybinds seem to work apart from the "windows key"
[10:09] <GeorgeJ> Ctrl+Alt+Numpad also does not work
[10:09] <GeorgeJ> I've tried puring unity and installing it again, unity --reset, nothing works
[10:50] <GeorgeJ> Oh, if it helps. It all worked on the live cd. However, once Ubuntu was installed, Unity broke. Could this perhaps be due to updates?
[10:51] <GeorgeJ> http://askubuntu.com/questions/70223/no-window-snapping-on-fresh-install seems to have a simmilar problem. I also have an nVidia video card.
[10:59] <GeorgeJ> How could I check what unity I'm running?
[11:05] <GeorgeJ> I require no fancy effects. Just want Unity to be able to handle my workspaces. Could this be a keybinding issue?
[11:53] <kamstrup> GeorgeJ: you can run this in a terminal: "ps aux | grep compiz"
[11:54] <kamstrup> if you get more than one line then it is unity3d
[11:54] <kamstrup> else u2d
[13:09] <GeorgeJ> kamstrup: Sorry, was away. compiz is not running
[13:11] <GeorgeJ> Is that the problem, do I need unity3d for those effects?
[13:15] <GeorgeJ> But it is started, hmmm. Something's odd here
[13:26] <GeorgeJ> Compiz is complaining that it canot find GLX, and I get: "Compiz (opengl) - Fatal glXCreateContext failed"
[13:26] <GeorgeJ> I get this while running unity --replace
[13:44] <kamstrup> GeorgeJ: sounds like you may not have the drivers working?
[14:32] <GeorgeJ> kamstrup: Yeah, I'm runing optimus
[14:32] <GeorgeJ> Trying to get it working now
[14:50] <kamstrup> GeorgeJ: ah... optimus is causing some odd troubles
[14:50] <kamstrup> GeorgeJ: i have it here as well
[14:51] <kamstrup> GeorgeJ: my solution was to disable optimus in the bios and either run solely on the integrated (intel) or discrete nvidia
[14:51] <GeorgeJ> kamstrup: I managed to fix it. I installed irnohide and disabled the nvidia driver
[14:51] <GeorgeJ> And I enable nvidia on demand
[14:51] <kamstrup> GeorgeJ: ok, cool :-)
[14:51] <GeorgeJ> I can't disable from bios since I dualboot, and sometimes game in window
[20:28] <beevvy> Hi all. How do I set global menu for a Qt app in Unity? I tried to do this on Oneiric but usual parentless QMenuBar which works well on OS X didn't work here. Currently if any of the app's windows besides the one which owns the menubar has focus, there is no global menu at all.
