Hi,

Please forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong section I'm new to the forum. I'm also new to Linux having just built my first computer I decided to run Ubuntu. I don't have any experience with Linux having migrated from Windows to OS X and back again so please bare with me.

I like the look of Gnome 3 and tried to install it following the guides here (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-gnome-shell-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot.html) and when I encountered problems I removed Gnome and tried this (http://techhamlet.com/2011/10/install-gnome-shell-in-ubuntu-11-10/). My problem is when I log in with GNOME selected the top menu bar and all menus appear in what I first thought was Arabic after the second try I'm not sure.

I've done a clean install of Ubuntu and haven't tried to install Gnome 3 yet. Does anyone know what the problem may be or what I did wrong?

Going off topic our computer science at school is very basic. I really want to learn how to use Linux properly through terminal and eventually programing etc. Any advice or tips on where to start would be most throughly appreciated. :D

Kind Regards,

Grace

I forgot to say although I am willing to learn my Linux skills are rudimentary at best. I still struggle with some (most) of the computer/Linux jargon. :oops:
