How to uininstall gnome3 from Ubuntu 12.10?

http://askubuntu.com – I recently installed Gnome 3.6 on my Ubuntu computer and decided I didn't like it, so I switched back to Unity. However, now I can't figure out how to uninstall Gnome. I installed it from http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/ and clicking the link "click away" at the bottom of the page under "Ubuntu." Do I just need the package name so I can uninstall from the terminal? Or is there a more involved process? Thanks for any help in advance. (HowTos)

I installed gnome because I liked the old gnome, but I installed Gnome 3, and even when I go into gnome classic, I can't right click the top and bottom bars and customize them like I used to do in Ver 11 (or 10... I'm not exactly sure... but it wasn't 12) of Ubuntu. Anyway to revert back?

I'm in 12.04

Problem with Gnome3 on Ubuntu 1 year 21 weeks ago

I recently installed the gnome3 on my Ubuntu some 1-2 months ago, it was working nice, but today, i was trying a theme, and then after reverting, the gnome-shell is not working!, When i select gnome, it runs the ubuntu-2d or something mixed, there are no animations, but it is not ubuntu-2d,whatever it is... is no gnome!

Hello ubuntuforums, I recently installed ubuntu 12.04 on my desktop, I started out with ubuntu 10.04 so gnome classic was the desktop environment of my choice, I dislike unity and gnome 3 isn't my cup of tea so to say.

After I installed a package called gnome-panel to enable gnome classic I went on to try to get my eyefinity setup to work, without success.

Hello again:

I'm a bit confused about gnome-fallback and gnome-panel. My Ubuntu-Tweak (from tualatrix) says I'm using gnome-fallback as DE:

http://imagebin.org/220331

I remember I installed gnome 3, which comes with gnome-fallback. But I also have installed gnome-panel (I see it marked at Ubuntu Software Center). Could you explain to me the difference? Or it's the same.

I have just got a new netbook and decided to do a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04, I then proceeded to install the gnome shell.

Ubuntu GNOME Remix is a new official Ubuntu flavor that aims to bring a pure upstream GNOME desktop experience built from the Ubuntu 12.10 repositories.

An alpha version of Ubuntu GNOME Remix is a developer snapshot that will give you a very early glance at the next version of Ubuntu GNOME Remix.

Ubuntu Gnome Remix has following features:

The Ubuntu GNOME Remix ships with the first GNOME

I want to try Ubuntu (tried different distro's many times before), but none were really to my liking. I always seem to be drawn to Ubuntu, thanks to the PPA's and software. What I don't like is Unity, particularly the Dash.

Gnome 3 , F16 issue 1 year 6 weeks ago

Ok, I upgraded from F15 to F16 which was a nightmare but finally I can login etc. Problem is now gnome doesn't seem to load new features properly. I have the old gnome2 style drop down menus rather the gnome 3 desktop options like the app drawer and side dock. Any help with how to get gnome working and up to date would be great. When I run gnome-session --version I get back gnome 3.2.1.
