Niklas's questions

I want to use gdm3 but unfortunately, it does not work. After booting it just completely hangs.

^{boot process stopped after Started GNOME Display Manager}

It just does not do anything. Installing lightdm and activating it via sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm does work but then again that's not what I want.

I tried several things already:

• Reinstalling NVIDIA drivers
• Changing my run level to multi-user.target
• Using update-rc.d -f gdm3 remove && update-rc.d gdm3 defaults to reconfigure gdm3
• Installing the packages that I need sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop gnome-shell gnome
• Reinstalling gdm3

Does anyone know how I can get gdm3 to work?

I've changed my alt and ctrl keys in order to have the same keyboard layout as I do on my mac.

Ever since then I can't use the abort Terminal command (previosly without any remapping ctrl+c). In the Terminal preferences I can pretty much remap anything I want (Copy, Paste, New Window, etc.) however I could not find a way to remap the abort function.

I've already tried tweaking the dconf setting manually by escape='<Alt>c' but it didn't work either.

Is there any way to remap the abort command?

If I login on my Ubuntu 14.04, I get the following desktop:

This weird behavior appeared after I executed sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and restarted my computer. Don't know why though.

To my Ubuntu I have tried the following (nothing seems to work so far)

Fix any broken packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove

Locate any broken packages and reinstall them:

sudo apt-get install debsums
sudo apt-get clean
sudo debsums_init
sudo debsums -cs
sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(sudo dpkg -S $(sudo debsums -c) | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u)

Removing some compiz files:

rm -r ~/.cache/compizconfig-1
rm -r ~/.compiz

Purging of NVIDIA and installing NVIDIA-prime:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install unity
sudo apt-get purge nvidia* bumblebee*
sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime
sudo shutdown -r now

Compizconfig Settings Manager:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

export DISPLAY=:0
ccsm

// Back to UI and enablement of Unity Plugin

Unity replace, which stopped at a while and did nothing afterwards

unity --replace

Some dconf reset

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
unity --reset-icons &disown

Actually dconf did not work and I got this error:

error: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY

Can anybody help me on that?

This is my hardware (hope it helps in any way):

• Intel® Core™ i7-3770
• ASUS GTX660TI-DC2-OG-2GD5 (NVIDIA driver is/was installed)
• ASUS P8Z77-V LX
• Corsair DIMM 8 GB DDR3-1600 Kit
• Samsung 830series 2,5" 256 GB (Windows is installed here)
• Seagate ST31000524AS 1 TB (3/4 are reserved for files; 1/4 is for Ubuntu (16GB swap included))

I installed imwheel correctly with sudo apt-get install imwheel. Afterwards I did insert this:

".*"
None,       Up,     Up,     10
None,       Down,   Down,   10

in my ~/.imwheelrc file. The scrolling works perfectly now. However the back / forth navigation buttons from my mouse(Logitecg G700) don't work anymore.

If I kill the process with killall imwheel, the buttons work.

Do you have any suggestions / ideas how to fix this? I'd like to use imwheel.
