Ubuntu 10.10 only Unity available

[sanchaz]

Hi,

So i upgraded my ubuntu 64bit from 11.04 to 11.10.
It did say there were problems encountered with the upgrade and that my system could be in an unstable state, but i think it was just flash that failed from what i saw.
Anyway now when i am prompted with the login screen and try to change the user session i only have:
recovery console
ubuntu (unity)
ubuntu 2d (unity 2d)
user defined custom (and just a simple task bar at the top and nothing else)

How do i get back the old ubuntu classic layout?
I dont really like unity...

Ubuntu 11.10 not having ubuntu classic .But you can get it by doing this


sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

I think you cant.I heard that Ubuntu not including Ubuntu-classic Desktop in 11.10. But if you want desktop like that then i can suggest you Xubuntu.

have you tried re-installing Unity from software center ?

[sanchaz]

no i haven't. Unity's installation is fine, i just don't like it.
I now installed gnome shell, which comes with gnome classic and gnome 3 which is a bit like unity but i bit less ugly.
The classic gnome is ok but i can't add anything to the taskbar.
i think ill stay with gnome 3 for now.

thx.

Use "ALT+right click" to add applets to the taskbar in gnome falback.
