Installing Ubuntu gnome 14.04

  • 772

I downloaded ISO file but when I try to boot from USB it says bootmgr is missing. I can boot that ISO file in virtual machine so I assume the file is OK. I had Ubuntu 14.04 with unity installed but didn't like unity at all.

I burned ISO file to DVD but can't boot from that either, should I download the file again? I have a very low speed connection.

Please help me to solve this. Thanks.

14.04

  1. Into terminal type

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

    Then:

    sudo apt-get update && ssudo apt-get install gnome-shell

    When these have finished, log out of ubuntu, click on the circle with the ubuntu logo near the password box, and choose one of the gnome options (you probably want just Gnome). It will always be the last chosen one by default (so after a restart, you can just log straight in).

  2. bootmgr is missing - Seems you are not booting from the pen drive or DVD.

    You can boot from either of these by selecting them in the boot selection menu from the BIOS.
