I am wondering if there are others things that I am missing/have to do....to get to the same thing (or similar) that you can see in the image above.

After I realized I made mistake:

ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 sudo apt-get update

and reverted system to previous state.

Press Ctrl+Alt+T to launch terminal, and type in this
