Additional Workspaces

Question

Since upgrading to 13.10, am I now limited to just 4 workspaces? Do I have to network two computers to get the 6 workspaces I had been using 13.04? Or is that only available with a 32 bit system instead of 64?

I've been looking at other distros that do have multiple workspaces, but they lack the software I use most.

If the additional workspaces will no longer be available, I may have to back up to 13.04 and stay there.

9 workspaces for you

gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ vsize 3
gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ hsize 3

Unity Tweak Tool will let you go up to 6 workspaces easily.

Just go to Workspace Settings under window Manager here you can set how many horizontal and vertical workspaces you want in the grid.

I will assume by WORKSPACES you mean "virtual desktops"

You can easily set these in CompizConfig

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Then

ccsm

Navigate to "General Options"

Select Desktop Size. Boom!
