On a fresh ubuntu install (12.04, x86_64). After gnome-shell installation, I've tried to install some extensions from extensions.gnome.org but got no result. I've tried with Firefox and Chromium and got the same issue.
1- open any extension page on extensions.gnome.org
2- switch extension to "ON".
This question is primarily for my own education. I first tried to install Fedora 18 choosing the Gnome desktop option, but the desktop was unusable after logging in (the appearance was of a font with mostly blank characters and occasional colored backgrounds). Later, I was successful at an install with the LXDE desktop choice.
I currently have F11 with gnome and am interested in trying out kde. I have a few questions:
1) How do I install kde so that when I log in I'll be able to choose between gnome and kde?
2) How big (disk space) is the installation?
3) Will the programs that I already have installed in gnome work with kde or will I need seperate kde versions?
Thanks.
I have an HP laptop with Dual ATI/Intel video card. Everything was installed and working with Gnome 3.4.2. I had to use the hybrid-video-ati-intel package from the AUR. I decided to give Gnome 3.6 and the new 10/6/12 installation media a try so I wiped everything. I followed the Beginner Guide to get it reinstalled and accidentally loaded up Gnome 3.4.2 again instead of Gno
All these things I have done before on an identical previous installation on the same laptop, and it worked perfectly.
Hi.I performed a default desktop install. Gnome. Good, but I also want kde, and I don't want to download it from the internet, since I have all two installation dvd (6.3 centos).
Can I safely change KDE for Gnome post OpenSUSE installation on a desktop machine, or am I more or less stuck with KDE now?
**If it is possible to change over to Gnome how can I do that (bearing in mind I'm a newbie)?
Thanks Ivan
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?
