Installing Ubuntu Unity Desktop instead of Ubuntu Mate/Kubuntu
#1
Hi 

Quick question as this has started to get me confused.

Firstly background

I followed this excellent tutorial to install Ubuntu Mate on the Pinebook Pro:

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8119

Worked a treat and now it is installed and working well on my device.


So ..I am wanting instead of Mate Ubuntu to have regular Ubuntu with a Unity type feel and panel (although now it is GNOME)  as you get on Ubuntu Desktop should you install it from scratch

I have tried the Munity theme on Mate and that does for now BUT

I still would like to have the same system

So I install Ubuntu desktop and packages
Get 2 choices added to the Lightdm launcher

Neither boot

I then installed Unity desktop which installed with no errors

Code:
sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-deskto

Bingo ...Ubuntu Unity theme boots....looks fine and dandy but most of my apps seem to have disappeared AND right click no longer works AND I cannot fire up a terminal or indeed find terminal in my apps

I deleted both Unity and Ubuntu desktop...all is well and Ubuntu Mate is there working fine. 

But ...I am doing something wrong...something simple...not sure what but it is wrong

Anyone else managed to have a nice Ubuntu desktop like attached screen shot from my desktop
