The installation of wheezy defaulted to the KDE desktop environment. How do I remove it and switch to GNOME 2 (the version that is used in stable)?
I fear that if I just install gnome-core, it will install GNOME 3. Can I just make sources.list point to an older version of some package?
I prefer GNOME 2 because it works well with bluetile (I don't want MATE, or other copies).
I installed only the base debian package and during installation I did not select any of GUI window manager, laptop, or system utilities.
So basically I'm running debian from command line, now I want to set up a GUI just for desktop. For this I tried installing gnome-core by
apt-get install gnome-core
But is shows gnome-core as a 400MB archive, is the core package so big?
I would like remove my Gnome 2 to put on its place the Gnome 3, because I do not want to update to Debian Wheezy. How can I do that?
Is it possible to install GNOME 3 and switch between GNOME and Unity?
If I run sudo apt-get install gnome3 will it remove unity, or break it?
I wanted to make sure, before I install GNOME.
My goal is to try out GNOME, without removing Unity. Or just to be able to switch between them. I've heard some of my friends talk about it should be possible at login screen?
Hi everyone, I've decided to switch back to gnome 3, despite it's nervous ticks. One of the extensions that I must have if I wish to live on the same hard disk as Gnome 3, is the Axe Menu (https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/327/axe-menu/). Via gnome's website it will not install, no errors are given.
Tried to remove those two from my gnome and made a mess.
I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 and installed gnome-shell on my system. I am attempting to download the user theme extensions from extensions.gnome.org, but I can't see this "switch" everyone's talking about. I've tried both Chromium and Firefox browsers on the site.
I'm trying to install Gnome on my Ubuntu 12.04 P.Pangolin and getting the following errors:
root@***:~# sudo apt-get install gnome-core gnome-session-fallback
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information...
I installed gnome-core using sudo apt-get install gnome-core. But now I want to uninstall it and switch over to other guis. Does anyone know how to do this and what are the other uis you would recommend. This is for a beaglebone- So a light weight Ui would be preferred.
