Convert 15.10 Vanilla to GNOME Edition [duplicate]

  • 772

How can i convert my Ubuntu 15.10 64 bit Vanilla Unity installation to Ubuntu GNOME Edition. Is it just installing Gnome Shell and uninstalling Unity. However i dont think this will be enough. Am I right, and if so, how can i convert to Ubuntu Gnome Edition?

gnome

  1. Try this:

    Open a terminal,

    Press Ctrl+Alt+T

    Run it:

    sudo -i
apt-get update
apt-get install --reinstall aptitude deborphan
aptitude remove '?and(?reverse-depends(ubuntu),?not(?reverse-depends(?exact-name(gnome))))'
aptitude remove '?and(?reverse-depends(unity),?not(?reverse-depends(?exact-name(gnome))))'
apt-get install --reinstall gnome
deborphan
apt-get --purge remove $(deborphan)
deborphan --libdevel
apt-get --purge remove $(deborphan --libdevel)
deborphan --find-config
dpkg --purge $(deborphan --find-config)
apt-get autoremove
apt-get clean
reboot

    This removes the installed packages that reverse-depend on Ubuntu and Unity and not those for gnome.
