I hope someone can help me overcome a mental block. I installed Ubuntu
12.04 beta 2 in a VM so that I can evaluate the user interface of Gnome
3.4. Synaptic shows that it is installed on my system, but I've no idea
how to invoke it. The only options I'm offered at login are Ubuntu
(Unity) and Ubuntu 2D, presumably also Unity 2D.
If you actually want it to work, I recommend VMWare Player instead of
VBox. I have 12.04 running on the same host; VMWare Player correctly
does proper 3D (Unity and GNOME), VBox does not. Doesn't matter how many
times that I reinstall/reconfigure VBox, it still does not work in 3D.
And if I actually turn on the 3D display in Vbox, I don't even get a top
panel.
Same host/system - plus that same system has boot partitions to 12.04
& 11.04, and both work just fine, so it's not a hardware issue.

Works For Me.
VirtualBox (4.1.12) does not.

And yes, I do have the most recent VBox extension (VirtualBox 4.1.12
Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack) installed on the host. I can both
in parallel & side-by-side. Thumbs down on VirtualBox.
