I was searching through google for a tutorial for installing gnome 3 in lucid 32bit.
I found a few and went through them. I basically destroyed my desktop and never got gnome 3 to install. The first tutorial installed kernel 3.0.0.10 and 3.0.0.11 on my machine, with nothing else. I didn't understand that at all! The second tutorial got dependency errors, failed to fetch this and that errors and it removed my current gnome install for a broken one that left me with X and a terminal window. I've got it almost back to normal now using "ppa-purge."
It seems that the PPAs that they mention don't have a lucid folder nor do any of the other PPAs mentioned, so I had to add them to the sources.list and substitute "lucid" for "natty."
Just for reference the PPA that I used was:
ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
I can't seem to find the other one that nearly made me have to reinstall ubuntu.
So how do I get gnome 3 on my 10.04?
thanks
