I have just installed the gnome-shell on my ubuntu 12.04. When I login I get this error:

GLib-GIO-ERROR: **: Settings schema 'gnome.org.desktop.a11y.magnifier'
does not contain a key named 'invert-lightness'

Does anyone know how to fix this? Because of this error the gnome-shell doesn't start at all!

When I installed it I followed these instructions: http://www.filiwiese.com/installing-gnome-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/

sometimes my gnome shell gets a weird bug. What I need to do then is to click e.g Ctrl + Alt + F3 When I am there i can login and then

killall gnome-shell

Then I go back to the first Ctrl + Alt + F1 (what do you call them tty1, tty2, tty3 ... )

back there I can sometimes open a terminal and enter:

gnome-shell

but sometimes it doesn't work, like now, because the browser window has the focus and no other windows has, and I can't start gnome-shell from the browser, so that's why I am asking the question now :) .

The thing that I have tried is to export the display when I am in the tty2 or tty3, not the one with graphics in

export DISPLAY=:0.0
gnome-shell

but I guess that the :0.0 display isn't the main display?, anyway I can at least start the gnome-shell but it results in an error. It is not the can't find an X display error, but another one that has something to do with the top-bar and the extensions.

Does anyone know how to start the gnome-shell from another "tty" thing?

I want to run compiz on startup instead of the default window manager in the Gnome Classic Gnome Shell Fallback. My problem is that I can't find the "correct" way to do this. I have tried a bunch of stuff, e.g.

http://www.jejik.com/articles/2008/10/how_to_properly_start_compiz_in_gnome/

which doesn't work. The only way that have worked for me is using compiz --replace at startup but this slows down the startup, right? I mean, if I use the default window manager and i also have the compiz --replace at startup, wont it cause a slower startup when both the default window manager and compiz are launched (even though one is terminated)?

I also have the windowmanager set to compiz in the 

"desktop->gnome->session->required_components"

in gconf-editor and it still doesn't work.

Any idea how I can disable the default window manager and use Compiz instead?

BTW: Im using ubuntu 11.10

I get this message when I try to install php5-mysql

http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/p/php5/php5-mysql_5.3.3-1ubuntu9.7_powerpc.deb 404 Not Found

It's the same when I try both the Ubuntu software center and apt-get install

So it seams like the .deb file doesn't exist.

Any idea on how I can install the php5-mysql package? I'm using a powerPC.

(btw, I have the same problem with phpmyadmin, the package doesn't exist)

package-management apt powerpc
