How to retrieve the full ubuntu desktop?

  • 772

My ubuntu 14.04 edition desktop has suddenly changed to the lightweight desktop . Here are some pics of this desktop it changed to:

No sidebar shown and apps appear upon clicking the activities tab

Footprint logo

So how can I return the original Ubuntu desktop look , this look is very annoying. Thank you.

14.04

    That is not the "lightweight" environment. It appears you have installed the ubuntu-gnome-desktop package. You need to install ubuntu-desktop and make sure you choose Unity at the log-in screen instead of GNOME.

    You can also just run sudo apt-get autoremove --purge ubuntu-gnome-desktop and then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to do a more complete swap.
