I have just upgraded my desktopto 11.04 and was wondering if someone could explain how I use Unity on it? My understanding was it was on by default with 11.04?

Thanks

What happens if you open a terminal and type unity? – Nathan Osman Mar 18 '11 at 19:13
looks like a similar situation to mine. try installing unity 2D and see if you can get the 2D edition going. on my system unity 3D is not working after upgrade but unity 2D with compiz is working. – Ubuntuser Mar 18 '11 at 19:59
When I type just Unity I get: unity-panel-service: no process found Backend : gconf Integration : true Profile : unity Adding plugins Initializing core options...done Initializing bailer options...done Initializing detection options...done Initializing composite options...done Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

Ah I think I sussed it out, I needed to turn on the drivers it would seem :) thanks for reading though, not to figure out what Unity is all about lol – user12622 Mar 18 '11 at 20:37
