Sure on Ubuntu 11.10 I installed Gnome 2.2 (see below comment for correction) as follows. This may not be possible on the next Ubuntu release. That's why I am migrating to Mint.
How to install gnome-classic on Ubuntu 11.10
# apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
# cd /etc/lightdm
# gedit lightdm.conf change user-session=gnome-classic
hold down the alt key when right clicking the menu bar to add frequency and system monitor
applets.
- gnaritas 15y agoThat doesn't install Gnome 2.2, it installs a Gnome 3 skin that kinda sorta looks like 2.2 but isn't. I went through this same stuff recently, tried xfce for a while, finally gave Gnome Shell a week and have grown to like it. I don't miss 2.2 anymore.
- pettazz 15y ago> This may not be possible on the next Ubuntu release. What, are they gonna stop making it based on Linux and move to something that can't run Gnome?
- SlipperySlope 15y agoGnome fallback is supposed to be a temporary feature of Ubuntu. Sorry - I can't easily find where I read that.
- pettazz 15y agoYeah, but at what point does that stop the "power users" who seem to hate Unity from installing Gnome themselves? Hell, I removed Gnome entirely and replaced it with Xfce once. It's still Linux. Just because it comes with Unity preinstalled doesn't mean you're stuck with it.
