Hiding the sidebar in Ubuntu

rated 0 times [ 8] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 129837 / 2 Years ago, tue, november 23, 2021, 11:23:20

I have two questions :

First, I wanted to hide Ubuntu’s side-bar, so I set the settings in appearance to 'autohide'. The side bar did indeed disappear but when I roll over the left side, the side bar don't appear again. So, I am using a virtual box. Can it explain the fact that this bar doesn't show again when it is set to autohide.

Second, assuming I wouldn't be able to come over the problem, I pined to the dock every element of the sidebar, except the dash home. Is it possible either to pin it in the dock or to launch it from the terminal ?

I'm using virtualbox too and I suffer the same problem, this is a virtualbox bug. The easiest thing you could do is to install gnome-fallback and use it instead of unity, since you're not using the unity dash anymore.

Check this link with details on how to switch to the default gnome desktop, if it's not installed by default, you can open a terminal and use the command:

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

Then you can change your desktop in the login screen:
