I would suggest that unity is a 'bug' in the thinking of ubuntu developers. Why o why did they start doing that when there is so many other things to do ! :) set session to classic mode to turn it off. (you then have to fiddle around with compiz setup, but youll get it)I would suggest that unity is a 'bug' in the thinking of ubuntu developers.

Unity is a new device tagged on to an operating system with already too many graphical choices, it looks awful, is buggy, hooks into compiz in horrible awful ways, does nothing useful and totally confuses me why someone would bother doing such a thing, the only solution is using 'classic' mode and uninstalling anything with unity in the name.Unity is a new device tagged on to an operating system with already too many graphical choices, it looks awful, is buggy, hooks into compiz in horrible awful ways, does nothing useful and totally confuses me why someone would bother doing such a thing, the only solution is using 'classic' mode and uninstalling anything with unity in the name.

is it the case that when you have set your router to accept any non-WPA connections you forgot to erase the settings from 'edit connections' in Network Manager ? Reason I ask is because your non-WPA connection shows wpa-supplicant having an error which i thought was the program that deals with WPA connections. For non WPA connections i think it shouldnt be using that, so perhaps you have switched it to an OPEN network but forgot to change your settings on your client to reflect that ? Assuming your ubuntu install is a fresh one and you havent fiddled too much, this looks to me like a router issue, try another router to double check if possible.is it the case that when you have set your router to accept any non-WPA connections you forgot to erase the settings from 'edit connections' in Network Manager ?

I agree with the course of action taken here. The user was specifically asking for a solution to an issue which, according to the comments, turned out to be a bug. The bug was reported, a patch was created, and is now fixed. Bug reports are off-topic for Ask UbuntuBug reports are off-topic for Ask Ubuntu to begin with. That being said, your question neither addresses the issue or provides any fruitful actions for the user. Simply saying "unity is a 'bug'" and informing the user to disable unity isn't really a solution. It parallels a similar scenario of "My Microsoft Windows computer used to open Word Documents but now doesn't" then replying "Windows is a virus, you should buy a Mac". As you can see, this isn't really a solution to the problem at all. At best your answer was a comment, one posed in jest at your apparent dislike of a Desktop Shell.
