Ubuntu Tweak

Missing some tweak options

Asked by Kent Storbakken

I just installed Ubuntu-Tweak on Ubuntu 10.10 after upgrading from 10.04 and I wanted to change the window control buttons from the left to the right. But I'm missing Window Manager Settings and quite a few other menu options. Here's a screenshot: http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/2814/screenshot1mk.png
Why is this and how can I restore them?

I want to know the environment of your desktop, do you use GNOME?

Or run "env" under terminal, and give me the output:

OK ,thanks.

Have you enabled the "Auto Login"?

Revision history for this message
Kent Storbakken (watupgroupie) said : 		#4

Yes I do have Auto Login enabled. I'm having problems with bootup right now also if that helps, I have to always boot through recovery because I get xorg issues.

So try to disable the Auto Login, then open Ubuntu Tweak again. See if it works, thanks.

Do you use the self-defined X Session?

Revision history for this message
Myzeus (myzeus) said : 		#9

I've added unity to my Ubuntu Desktop Edition to try the new interface. Tried once then i removed the unity related packages and set the Ubuntu Default X session

Ding Zhou (tualatrix) said : 		#10

Try to select the "Ubuntu Desktop" session or "GNOME" if it is available.
