What is going to happen to my Ubuntu GNOME desktop when I upgrade? Is it going to stay vanilla or will I have the Ubuntu-ified version of GNOME available in GDM?
- kbumsik 9y agoI am wondering too. There is even no Ubuntu GNOME on the update list. Is it going to be discontinued?
- pkaye 9y agoYes Ubuntu GNOME will be discontinued as determined by the developers. They decided it was better time to contribute to making Gnome better in the Ubuntu distribution itself. There will an additional package you can install to enable standard GNOME configuration.
- JamesMcMinn 9y agoAs I understand it, the version of Gnome they're shipping is vanilla Gnome with a few extensions enabled by default, all of which can be disabled using Gnome Tweak. There's no need for a separate session.
- jacek 9y agoYou can install gnome-session package. In GDM you will be able to choose between "Ubuntu Session" (Ubuntified Gnome) and "Gnome Session" (vanilla).
- colago 9y agoI just upgraded from Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 via "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" and everything still looks like it did before. After a reboot, the login screen has the purple Ubuntu Unity look and then it switches to the Ubuntu GNOME look.
