I now have backed to Trisquel from other libre systems like Parabola, Devuan, Hyperbola, by backing to Trisquel I’ve been waiting for Unity shell and UbuntuWeb got fixed for very long. Now they’re still broken and yet to be fixed by the Trisquel teams. I need to here ask for getting them fixed as soon.

Unity is no longer being developed. Ubuntu switched to GNOME as of version 17.10.

I see no reason for Trisquel's developers to waste their time on a dead project like Unity. You can use extensions to add everything Unity has to GNOME Shell.

Unity is fixed in Trisquel, the problem is that the system updates the packages when there is a new version upstream. So, even if we fixed the issue, we have to wait for one of the "core developers" to build the package or wait for a new verions upstream.

I know this is frustrating but it is real. If you want the updated package, try cloning the actual repo and build the packages yourself:

https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers

you have to install the dependencies before building the package. You have to read the documentation.
