HUD in 12.04?

[Robert cole]

Hello, Bruno.

I actually installed the x86 version as a VirtualBox guest, but the HUD 
will not work for me at all. I added the PPA repository and ran a 
dist-upgrade. Will it work in both Unity2D and Unity3D? Thai is the only 
thing I can think of, as even though I have 3D Acceleration enabled for 
the virtual machine, with a Video Memory size of 186 MB, Unity3D will 
not come up at all. There is also no cog icon to choose which desktop 
environment to log into on the login screen. When I press ALT to try to 
invoke the HUD, nothing happens other than the normal global menu 
behavior in which a certain letter of a menu (e.g. [F]ile, [E]dit, 
[V]iew ,etc) is underscored.

Am I doing something wrong?
