Re: [orca-list] Installing gnome and switching from unity to gnome3 in Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04?




Hi,

Well, there is a couple of ways of doing this. To begin with you should open gnome-terminal and do the following.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-classic

This should download and install gnome-classic for you. At this point you have a couple of ways of setting up the default desktop.

1. You can logout and from lightdm you can tab once from the password field, press enter on the sessions button, arrow down three times to gnome-classic, press enter, shift+tab back to the password field, enter your password, and press enter to log into gnome-classic.

2. You can edit the lightdm configuration settings using a text editor like Nano and replace ubuntu or ubuntu2d with gnome-classic, save the configurations, logout, and log back in for Gnome. Sorry, I can't remember the files right off my head as I've only did it this way once before. I personally chose  just to memorize how to do it from lightdm with or without speech. Which I personally found easier.

Cheers!
