Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu 11.10 setting unity 2D as default desktop?

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

If you turn on Orca during the install then Unity 2D should already be
your default desktop manager. If it isn't then the following command
should change it for you. I got this from another list, probably the
-accessibility list.

Ok, here is a command that should change your session to unity-2d,
without you having to log out and stop lightdm. This should worok 100%.

You need to know what your user ID is, not your user name your user ID
number. To find this out, open a terminal and run:

echo $UID

Make a note of the number you hear, you will need it in the next
command. To make the change, run this command:

dbus-send --type=method_call --system --reply-timeout=1000
--dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User$uid
org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetXSession string:ubuntu-2d

Where $uid is your user ID number, mine is 1000.
