[HowTo] Install Gnome Shell on Ubuntu Linux

[Asaloy]

How can I get all the icons at the bottom like you have?

[fortysixfish]

Your screen has these annoying blue flashing bars. I don't want that :/

hi, ive tried following the steps to download but it deletes my whole desktop and i can't do anything at all, is this because its not compatible with 10.10. thanks!

@SHITONASTICK1100 Check your graphics drivers and install updates?

[vengiss]

Hi, whats the name of the dock you got there?

[Sciesch]

Nice, thanks for sharing :)

[xXhighwolfXx]

nice background where did you get it

[Tru3m0sl3m]

google and then modified it to suit this theme

[Jarige2]

I like gnome-shell, but I miss Wobbly Windows sooo much and I don't really know why. It just seems empty and boring when dragging a window without it being wobbly.

Is there, or will there be any way of having Wobbly Windows on and having gnome-shell?

I find that i dont miss compiz at all when running gnome shell if you would like gnome shell to run at login just create a launcher for gnome-shell --replace and out it in your start up apps

[demoflare]

The application menu remins me of vista (cringes horribly), however it looks pretty cool. Compiz seems to lag up my desktop, so i may try this out soon...

btw any chance of a link to the wallpaper? :D

[Tru3m0sl3m]

i'll post the link in the description box ASAP

[Tru3m0sl3m]

@demoflare check the descriptionbox

[GeorgeMurango]

Hey, what gtk theme are you using?

[kaddy01980]

[Tru3m0sl3m]

[QQLEMMEALONE]

hello, sir how did you get the bar at the bottom? i would appreciate knowing how to do that :D!

[Tru3m0sl3m]

sudo apt-get install gnome-do

[QQLEMMEALONE]

thank you!

yeah, i found out a few mins after posting.

docky really ties gnome-shell together! gnome-shell would be a bit annoying with out it. 1+1 = 2

[nortexoid]

The video looks all corrupt with blue lines popping up all over the place. Real nice!

[dadedo123]

Oh thanks. I got it installed! I really don't like it. It's not for everyday use. Why would someone want a whole window for the workspaces? :s I wish this deosn't make it to ubuntu as the default environment. I really love the current gnome. :(

[dadedo123]

How can I install Dev dependencies? I am using Jaunty, and I followed what you wrote.

[Tru3m0sl3m]

This is what i found at ubuntu forums

"i was able to fix the error that a lot of people are getting about jhbuild. all i did was run sudo apt-get install python-dev and selected option number 1. it worked fine"

[dadedo123]

I got errors when installing in "6 of 7" and "7 of 7". Now when I try to run it, it tells me that there is no such directory. Please help me, allah yekhaleek!

[Tru3m0sl3m]

Do you have all the Dev dependencies installed?

[billgoldbergmania]

Thanks for the vid. I just installed Gnome 3 on Karmic. As you said, it's real smooth.

[Tru3m0sl3m]
