Hi, I have Ubuntu 11.04 and whenever i install gnome3, i will get an error during the install. following are the details.
"sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". i will always get an error pop-up and a error message in terminal saying "errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-session_3.0.1-0ubuntu~build1_all.deb" & "E:sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" and when i reboot, i will get stuck at the ubuntu splash page and ubuntu will not load.

Where are you getting gnome3 from?

From the gnome3 PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3


This package contains packages from GNOME3 and their dependencies so they can be used in Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty). This PPA is EXPERIMENTAL and MAY BREAK YOUR SYSTEM. There is no downgrade process.

From UGR:

http://ugr.teampr0xy.net/install


DO NOT install this on a production machine, THERE IS NO DOWNGRADE PATH. THIS HAS NO WARRANTY, AND IT COULD SERIOUSLY MESS THINGS UP.
