How can I change the number of workspaces in workspace switcher using ubuntu 11.10. In ubuntu 10 there was an opportunity to set other size than 2x2. I prefer 3x3 workspaces, how can I reach this in ubuntu 11.10.

Is there a way I can completely disable workspaces and remove the icon from my Unity-2D panel?

My system is built around my 71 year old father (who is a recent, and very supportive Linux user now).

He doesn't have any need for multiple desktops and I find that having too many things on the panel can be a bit confusing for him.

Is there any way to completely disable workspaces / as well as remove the icon from the panel?

Additional Workspaces

Since upgrading to 13.10, am I now limited to just 4 workspaces? Do I have to network two computers to get the 6 workspaces I had been using 13.04? Or is that only available with a 32 bit system instead of 64?

I've been looking at other distros that do have multiple workspaces, but they lack the software I use most.

If the additional workspaces will no longer be available, I may have to back up to 13.04 and stay there.

How do I turn on workspaces? (Why do I only have one workspace?)

It appears that Unity on Raring only comes with a single virtual desktop (aka workspaces) by default, and CCSM's Wall plugin has no way to add more. Is this configurable at all?

How can I reduce or increase the number of workspaces in Unity?

I was reading about how to get multiple workspaces in the mutter version of Unity, however since Compiz is replacing Mutter how do I go about adding and removing workspaces in Compiz version of Unity?

How do I move applications from one workspace to another [closed]

I'm using 11.10 - please can someone let me know how can I move programs from one workspace to another.

I'm used to the Gnome-2 style - is there a way to achieve something similar in 11.10?

How do I quickly switch between workspaces in unity?

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity and would like to switch between workspaces with a keyboard shortcut.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Is it possible to have a different background for each workspace?

I normally use 4 different workspaces for different things, and they are always the same, can I make a different background image for each one of them?

I would like an answer that works for both Unity and the Classic desktop.

This question has multiple answers covering different ubuntu versions:

• 13.04, 13.10 and 14.04
• 12.10
• 12.04
• 11.10
• 11.04
• 10.04

Multiple monitors, multiple workspaces?

I connected my laptop to my LCD. Using the laptop display hotkey I can switch between different modes - only laptop monitor on, only LCD monitor on, both on and display the same view, both on and the desktop is stretched (divided).

But, I'm looking for something else - I would like to have two workspaces, one visible on the laptop monitor and the other on the LCD.

Is that possible?

How to get a different Unity Launcher with different icons on each workspace?

I read through the various answers to having separate desktop folders in each Workspace using Screenlets, devilspie, or CCSM ... but that's not the answer to my question. I installed 14.04 LTS a few days ago and have had good success getting most of my apps and some new ones to run. What I would like is to have 4 separate workspaces, each with some different icons for the environments I run. For example,

• Workspace 1 – dedicated to science and math apps
• Workspace 2 – dedicated to music tools
• Workspace 3 – for electronic circuits and simulations
• Workspace 4 – for web browsing and general computing

Think of an Android tablet where each screen can contain separate icons.

It must be obvious how to do this, but I can't find an answer. I am 4 days old on Ubuntu, so please don't assume I know what I'm doing!

Cycle around the "end" of workspaces in Gnome?

I have a typical Gnome setup, in which i can move/switch between workspaces, by hitting ctrl+alt+‹or›arrow. But when i'm in workspace 1, hitting ctrl+alt+‹ has no effect, and similarly for my maximum workspace (typically 4).

Is there any way I can have this cycle around, so that hitting ctrl+alt+› in workspace 4 will bring me back around to 1?

Can I set up 2 monitors to be 2 separate Gnome virtual desktops instead of one big?

If I plug an external CRT to my laptop, it normally either displays the same picture as the laptop's panel, or extends the desktop area. But I'd like it to be a separate virtual desktop (a workspace, in terms of Gnome). Is it possible?

I use Toshiba L10 laptop with Intel 82852/855GM onboard card. And I switch (which, AFAIK, can be an inconvenience with Xinerama) monitor configurations (detach all monitors but a laptop's built-in panel, attach monitors with different resolutions) pretty often (sometimes many times a day).

How can I automatically add workspaces, only if I need them?

Assume I am using 4 workspaces and I incidentally need more, is there an automated process or, if impossible, an easy way to incidentally add more workspaces (instead of installing Ubuntu tweak etc. etc.).
