I have zorin os 6.1 and the start menu turned into Ubuntu logo, also the login screen used to say Zorin Os 6.1 now it says ubuntu? Also the dock on the taskbar keeps glitching out is there a way to get the old 5 point taskbar back no dock cause this is frustrating also my AMD drivers don't have catalyst in the system tools area after installing kinda weird. :? :? :? :? :? :?: :?:

Hi,

what desktop are you using?.

Try running "dpkg" per this guide:

Hi,

be careful what you un-install as you may take out packages that something else depends on!!.

Have you tried simply changing to the "Gnome 2" look using the Zorin "Look Changer" ???.

Hi,

I recommend you install the package "gnome" if you are going to use "Docky" as it seems to add to the stabilty of the system!!. (Might just be me!!) It will install a lot of extra packages that you may not need so be warned!!.
