I installed gnome-shell - for who knows what reason - on Natty, from gnome3 launchpad PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
sudo apt-get install gnome-session
After I realized I made mistake:
ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
and reverted system to previous state.
Gnome 3 has just released and the gnome3-team ppa only provides packages for Ubuntu 11.04 Natty.
I have Ubuntu 11.10 with gnome3/shell installed.
I installed the latest gnome3 from webupd8's ppas and somehow borked my system.
while doing a ppa-purge it somehow decided to remove the ubuntu-desktop meta package
now while i'm trying to get back to pure ubuntu, i try this:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
and get this:
ubuntu-desktop : Depends: eog but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnome-control-center but it
I have been using gnome fallback for more than a year, but recently I have come across this image:
However, when in virtual machine (new copy of ubuntu 12.04) I change to gnome 3 shell, the desktop is not even similar to the one in the photo above.
Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal has been released. It ships Gnome Nautilus 3.4.2. This simple tutorial will show you how to install the Nautilus 3.6 in Ubuntu 12.10.
To get started:
First open Ubuntu Software Center, navigate to Edit -> Software Sources… -> Other Software tab.
I'm a beginner when it comes to the Linux environment. I recently tried to install some extensions in Linux.
This tutorial will explain how to install Linux kernel 3.5 rc release using ppa.
First open a terminal from the dash home(or press Ctrl+Alt+T), add the ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa by command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
Then do update and dist-upgrade.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
If you change your mind, execute following to install ppa-purge and remove the ppa with it.
I installed Unity 5.0 to test on my 11.10 setup and I've just removed it recently. Restarting the computer, I can't logon to my desktop now. I insert my password, then a black screen comes up and then it goes back to the login screen.
