I am not able to find the lg command in my Ubuntu 11.10 installation. I have installed Gnome3 from website, following the install link for Ubuntu. So I think everything should be fine.

But the lg command is missing and I am not able to find any package providing it. Any hint?

gsettings set development-tools true

And check again to see if 'lg' works.

To my knowledge, the command "looking glass" is a part of the Gnome-Shell itself. Make sure you have "gnome compatibility" activated in the compiz config settings manager and you have gnome-Shell installed.

The "running command" shortcut normally is Alt+F2.

So, please press Alt-F2, a very simple command window will appear. Here you can type "lg" to activate this bug-tracking- and processes-information-window.

I hope, that was helpful for you.
