Trisquel 7.0 have unity on its repositories but, for some reason, the "unity-ubuntu" session won't be listed and therefore unable to be launched easily.

Installing unity

To install unity just open a terminal and do the following:

$ sudo aptitude install unity

Using the script to create the desktop entry

The easy way to create the entry is by using the following script. Just follow the instructions to do that:

• Click on unity.sh.gz to download a compressed archive with the script. Once it is downloaded, open the terminal emulator and use the cd command where the file was downloaded and uncompress it with the following command:

$ gzip -d unity.sh.gz

• It's time to make the file executable:

$ chmod +x unity.sh

• Run the script with sudo:

$ sudo ./unity.sh

• Reboot your computer and "ubuntu" should be listed.
