Removing lens from Ubuntu 12.10

I would like to remove lens from Ubuntu's unity environment.

You might argue that I can go back to Ubuntu-Gnome classic. But I would like to retain global menu feature of Ubuntu.

Please help. Thanks in advance.


Solution 1:

To uninstall lens, open terminal / Ctrl+Alt+t then type:

sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-xxx

The xxx is the type of lens. In general, Unity use this lenses:

  1. Applications
  2. Files
  3. Gwibber
  4. Photos
  5. Shopping
