I tried to upgrade to 11.10. Actually the upgrade went well until I tried to "improve" my desktop. At this point I am back to being able to boot, use email, and the Internet. But I have a long way to get back to a fully useful workstation.
It seems I am not the only person having these problems and it seems it is this Unity shell. so I want to fix my install and use gnome from now until forever.
I booted to the 11.10 .iso hoping to see a repair installation, but no such luck.
Please tell me what is the best way to get 11.10 fully functioning without Unity and hopefully not a full clean install, but one that preserves my documents and settings.
Thanks
