Well yesterday I decided I update to 11.04. Installing of 11.04 went very smooth.
I then decided that I wanted to use GNOME3 instead of Unity. I then added the PPA to the repository and did a update and upgrade. After the reboot I got a blue screen with the login screen in one of the very old themes of ubuntu. When I logged in I did get a sort of combo of Gnome2 unity and Gnome3. Then when I wanted to update it gave a 'only partial upgrade possible'-message. There were two gnome related updates but I couldn't install them for some reason. Then I managed to completely destroy ubuntu because I couldn't login anymore, recovery console didn't work either. Okay so I re-installed ubuntu, everything went smooth, accept that grub was destroyed to, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1746858. After the install I added the ppa again and tried again. The updatemanager gave his 'only partial upgrade possible'-message already at this moment. Well I continued and again no gnome3. Re-installed ubuntu and did exactly what was told here:
http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-GNOME-3-on-Ubuntu-11-04-194085.shtml
Well still didn't work and I need to reinstall ubuntu again.
Why oh why won't GNOME3 be installed on my laptop!?!?
I have http://www.notebook-driver.com/laptops-information/toshiba-portege-m750-s7201-notebook-tech-specifications/
I hope anyone (recognizes this problem) can help me with this.
