Hi ,

this you described is the default behavior.

Did you try Ctrl+Atl+Arrow keys ?

Thanks

once you open up workspace switcher, you can right click on the workspaces to switch to them

I've tried to right clic, have tried the Ctrl-alt-arrow keys, but can only work in the first work space. Maybe I don't know how to work it correctly, but I have followed the diretions in their tutorial, and am still only able to open multiple windows in one workspace, but unable to move a window to another workspace.

Hi ,

this is not a problem. The situation you face, that you cannot move a window to another workspace is normal because you use ubuntu-2d(unity-2d) . See the result of

env | grep DESK

ubuntu-2d is a faster and lighter environment but without the effects of "Ubuntu"(unity-3d) .
IF you want to use full effects then change the environment to "Ubuntu" from the login screen.

At the login box (where you write your username and password) click on little Ubuntu icon (up right) and choose "Ubuntu" . You must do that once as the Operating System remembers the last desktop-session.

If you want to work in multiple workspaces in ubuntu-2d , then you must use the workspace-switcher and open each application in different workspace , but Yes , you cannot move the windows.

You can mark this question as solved.

Thanks

How do i go about replacing this new version of Ubunto 12.04 with an older version in which that I can use multiple work spaces?
I'm thinking maybe my computer doesn't have enough power for the new version, but it worked fine on the older version I had.

This is another question. You can open a new question for this.

If you cannot login in Ubuntu (Unity-3D) environment then you cannot move windows from a workspace to another.

But you can work in multiple workspaces using workspace-swither icon.

Thanks

Can you help with this problem?
