Can I install Gonme 3 on Ubuntu 10.10

[swapnilchitnis360]

I'm downloading Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 1 now but I can't wait to try Gnome 3 on Ubuntu 10.10. Is there any way I can do that?

Both 10.10 and 11.04 come with Gnome 2.32. To use Gnome 3, you will have to use the unofficial PPA:

Note that this may be causing some problems.

or you could just install debian squeeze complete with gnome 3

Related question: If I install the latest version of Compiz and Emerald on 10.10 or 11.04, would I be able to use Gnome 3 (not Shell) with Compiz as the WM and Emerald as the decorator, or are there conflicts between any of them?

Open the terminal and run the following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gnome3-builds
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome3-session

After completing the installation Log out and back in, selecting the GNOME Session in GDM
