Ubuntu 11.04
Question: How to switch back to classic mode?
I don't like both of Unity and Gnome 3, but I can't find the classic one either, after installed Gnome 3.
The only choices are:
Fluxbox
Gnome shell
Recovery mode
User defined session
So how to get back the classic session?
Answer
Unfortunately, the only way back is either:
Downgrade with PPA Purge (will not work at this time).
Or
Reinstall.

Wonderful. I would add this to answers: Install Windows 7.

0.0185144 > 1
Typical freetard logic: "we are more than 1%"! And to prove this they create a website to reach 0.0185144% after one year. The GNU Linux Counter: http://www.dudalibre.com/gnulinuxcounter. At least we know that we are living on a planet with 58 gNewSense users. This thing backfires. Better to close this project and be happy with 1%.

Ubuntu\Kubuntu LTS: a joke!
The Windows 7 wannabe KDE Software Compilation 4.5.2 was released!
As the announcement says this release brings bugfixes and translation updates and is a RECOMMENDED update for everyone running earlier versions. In other words they give a shit on every bug found in the previous versions. This is OK! Or this is ok IF you are not using Kubuntu and you are not cheated by Cannonical's LTS promise: three year support, which in reality means nothing, lots of bugs are NEVER fixed.
Just try to upgrade Kubuntu to KDE 4.5.2. Before doing this first look at their website:
There are no packages planned for Kubuntu 10.04 LTS, we recommend updating to 10.10 if you want to try the newest software, either upgrade to the release candidate or wait for the final release on Sunday.
Thanks!
So if you are an LTS user and you want the new KDE with the included bugfixes, then you are invited to upgrade your system to an unfinished, intermediary version. Wunderbar!
Interesting thing is they have 4.5.1 in the 10.04 ppa, but this time some lazy idiots decided they are free software developers and they do what they want. Go upgrade to 10.10, but as fast as you can because anyway this new version will be obsolete in 2 weeks when everybody will start to work on 11.04...

Brainstorm Watch #2
... or how to disrespect developers. This is not about a simple Brainstorm entry, but a general problem with the most popular GNU/Linux system: they don't like development tools! Especially RAD like packages are always very outdated. (Yes, I know: YouDontNeedThat.) This doesn't mean they have too many professional tools, but the few they have are very well hidden somewhere in Synaptic, they are old, buggy, outdated, poorly documented. The brave Cannonical don't really support or try to recommend anything for the poor developers trying to code something on their libre OS. The title of today's story is Eclipse:
- remove eclipse from the ubuntu repositories : ... poor developers are begging the Ubuntu guys to update this package, since three years...
But they got only a lot of promises:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/123064
(Eclipse is almost the only, decent developer IDE available in linux distributions and Ubuntu features a three year old outdated version, 3.2)
Some people say it's easy to get the latest version from the website, because it is only a zip file, but interestingly in the same time is VERY HARD to package. Ok, I don't know too much about a deb package but if is so hard to achieve to store a simple folder in deb file then please drop the whole apt-get-its-soo-easy-to-install-10000-software-with-a-single-click-in-linux thing.
Even the dictator Mark Shuttleworth have something to say here: The beauty of an open community effort is that it inherits the priorities of everyone who participates. Yes, this does not make too much sense, but he continues: One of our requirements in working with Sun is that Eclipse work well. I fully support the idea of being able to apt-get the latest stable Eclipse. Brilliant. Unfortunately this was 2 years ago. And they still have the aged Eclipse 3.2 version. Go, go, go switch to linux....
(of course this is normal in a distro based on a software museum (also called sometimes Debian). you have guessed, the bleeding edge sid also has the stone age version of Eclipse)
So, somebody should wake up the Eclipse team.
