Gnome Shell in Ubuntu 9.10

This is Gnome Shell in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala). The screencast software I used is really bad, so ignore all the blue lines and glitches in the video; the real experience is actually very smooth, fast, and stable.

This is running on a 2008 Macbook Pro, 15 inch.

@NubeDcafe: It's one of the stock wallpapers that comes with Ubuntu 9.10. It's called "Throwing Stones", you would be able to find it if you searched Google.

Installing GNOME Shell in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is easy. This is how you do it.

$ sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

Once GNOME Shell is installed, you can start it by running the following command :

$ gnome-shell --replace

If you get a black screen, then you should set the value of the GNOME_SHELL_DISABLE_TFP variable to 1 prior to starting GNOME Shell.

$ export GNOME_SHELL_DISABLE_TFP=1
