Solution to Unity Desktop Fullscreen Graphical Glitch

You may find that your out of the box installation of Unity Desktop has the following glitch:

  1. Install CompizConfig
  2. Utility → Workarounds
  3. Set "Force full screen redraws (buffer swap) on repaint" to true.

Internal Domain Names

You can edit /etc/hosts/ to add domain names and which IP addresses they refer to.
