After my usual lull after a new Ubuntu release, waiting for people to scream their newly updated machines where melting MELTING!!!, yesterday I felt comfortable to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal.
Upgrade went pretty well, but as expected the new Unity desktop manager made me feel like when I was using linux for the first time.
First of all, in a multi monitor set-up, the Launcher is on the left side of the primary monitor. Which is not the monitor you want it on as is aptly stated in this article. Because in my case it is on the left side of my right monitor...
Unfortunately, my monitors are detected by xrandr as one big desktop, so the steps in this article are not going to work. I also tried setting the primary monitor in Nvidia settings, but that didn't seem to do anything.
I also really miss my CPU indicator permanently in view somewhere. So I installed both alexeftimie's indicator-sysmonitor and Conky.
Bizarrely enough, my local drupal installation works flawlessly, where in previous upgrades my php got upgraded to a version that was not supported in drupal 6.
