I tried gnome-shell but didn't quite like it. After removing gnome-shell, I still have them in login menu. However, upon logging in with any gnome option, I get to the usual Unity desktop.
I had purged gnome-shell using apt-get, but seems like some component is still remaining.
How do I remove gnome login options from lightdm login screen?
Ubuntu 12.10 taking too much time (about 30 secs) to start gnome-shell after login in lightdm. No notable delay in loading unity though. Cinnamon also taking time to load like gnome-shell. It happens only the first time. How can I see the related log to debug it? It started after a recent update. Please help me or provide ways to see log of startup ( from lightDM onwards) Thanks.
When I come to the ubuntu 12.04 lightdm login screen, I get several options for logging into desktop environments.
There is Unity and gnome and gnome-classic etc...
When I select unity, it logs me into Unity and
When I select gnome, it logs me into UNITY O_o
I also notice that even after selecting the gnome3 session , the icon on the login box is the same as the unity icon.
I previously had gnome-shell installed, but removed it when I thought I'd stick with Unity. Now I've decided to give it another shot using some extensions, however I don't have the option for it when I log out and click the ubuntu logo to change DE. I have tried restarting to make sure it's nothing stupid like that.
I switched from Unity to Gnome 3.4 but I'd like to tweak my desktop a bit. I want to use a gnome shell theme but the gnome tweak tool won't allow me to modify the gnome shell themes. I've read somewhere that if I reinstall the gnome-shell then it would conflict with Unity and I wouldn't be able to safely use Unity anymore. Is there a way to change the theme without reinstalling the gnome-shell?
i just did a clean install this morning and decided to give gnome shell a shot.so far so good but encountered a little problem,i want to bring the close button from the right to the left.i don't even know if this is possible in gnome shell,i don't remember if this can be done.i tried gconf but it won't do it,in unity it is but not in gnome shell.if any one has the experince please share it.thank y
After I installed GNOME Shell, the option in LightDM for remote access ("remote login") disappeared. What should I do to restore the option?
Original untranslated version:
Al instalar GNOME Shell desaparece la opción de acceso remoto (inicio de sesión remoto) en LightDM. ¿Qué debo hacer para restaurar la opción? Saludos.
Gnome Shell places pop up notifications on the middle bottom of screen.
I've made custom Ubuntu with Ubuntu builder. I've installed gnome-shell and cairo-dock from chroot. I've removed Unity from chroot too.
I've edited /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, changed user-session = cairo-dock and then I built the custom ubuntu. I then ran it on virtual box. LiveCD successfully showed the Cairo dock but when I change to user-session = gnome-shell, desktop shows unity panel.
