Hi,

Started with up to date machine.

i followed this:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-session


running dist-upgrade gave me a small error to which I could click cancel or report bug, I clicked cancel but dist-upgrade finished successfully.

but when I try to run "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-session" I get following error:

eading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gnome-session : Depends: gnome-session-bin (< 2.33) but 3.0.1-0ubuntu1~build2 is to be installed
Depends: gnome-session-common (= 2.32.1-0ubuntu20) but 3.0.1-0ubuntu1~build2 is to be installed
gnome-shell : Depends: gir1.2-mutter-3.0 (>= 3.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gir1.2-telepathyglib-0.12 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gir1.2-telepathylogger-0.2 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gjs but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgjs0b (>= 0.7.11) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libmutter0 (>= 3.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnome-icon-theme-symbolic (>= 2.91) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnome-themes-standard (>= 2.91) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gir1.2-gkbd-3.0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gir1.2-polkit-1.0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mesa-utils but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

You may want to try what it mentioned (apt-get -f install gnome-shell gnome-session) then see what happens. Did you try that?

EDIT: Looks like you beat me to the post :)
