How do I switch from Unity 3D to Unity 2D in Oneiric Ocelot?

[Gregory Lopez]

That “kludge” worked like a charm... Now using Unity 2D, and it sticks across restarts. Thanks so much for the tip. I’m going to pass this along to another list I subscribe to as well.

This's a bit of a kludge, but you can activate Unity 2d with key-commands, which shouldn't require sighted help. When the password comes up, press tab to go over to the session button, spacebar to open the menu, down button twice and press enter to select Ubuntu 2d, and then press tab to get back to the password field. Fortunately, you should only have to do that once...Ubuntu should remember your session and log you into Unity 2d every time thereafter.

  Several of us have asked this question on this list and still have no answer that does not require sighted help.  If you have someone who can help there is a icon (I believe it was described to me as a gear) down by the password on the login screen that will allow it to be changed.  So far no one has come up with a way to do it if you can't see that I am aware of.

    Greetings,
     
    I’ve recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my desktop computer, activated Orca and have it starting by default when I log in,
    but I’m stuck with the Unity 3D desktop. I understand that Unity 2D is more accessible, but I don’t know how to switch to
    it. I’m wondering if someone can explain how to switch the desktop, and how to make it accessible as possible, as I use the
    system as a home server.
     
    Thanks in advance,
