Out of curiosity, did you just install Ubuntu 17.10, removed Ubuntu-gnome and then manually installed plain Gnome on top? Any special steps to make it work (like booting to a secondary wm while you uninstall and reinstall gnome)?
I'm still on 14.04 with vanilla Gnome (with my own extensions, etc), so I'm happy to see Canonical moving out of the desktop business, and retiring Unity for good. I just wish they offered a vanilla Gnome, instead of this heavily customized Unity-looking one.
- yorwba 9y agoCan't you just install them side-by-side? Then after confirming "real" Gnome works, uninstall Ubuntu's Gnome. Or do they somehow conflict with each other?
- r3bl 9y agoNope, they do not. Just execute "apt install gnome-shell" and you get GNOME proper. No interference what so ever. After all, Ubuntu's GNOME is just GNOME with some extensions slapped on top.
