theme resets after every reboot

[Askel]

I have the faience-theme. After it updated the theme gets reset every time I reboot. I have to open MyUnity and change the theme to get it right again. Is there a solution to this.

Hello Askel

[Askel]

I installed it using the PPA, and the Ubuntu-version is 12.04

Meaning did you install the theme in ~/.themes or in /usr/share/themes?

It's in /usr/share/themes

The theme description states it only has support for Gnome 3.6 which is what 12.10 uses.
Description:
Faience is a Work In Progress that include GTK3, GTK2, Metacity and Gnome-Shell themes and an icon theme based on Faenza.

Support Gnome 3.6 only.

Guess that explains it. To bad I updated then.

I have the folders with the old theme. How do I do to replace them in the /usr/share/themes folder?

I've used the mv command but it doesn't work. It says it can't remove the target cause it's a catalog.

You can replace them , but why does the PPA have themes that are not supported in your version of Ubuntu ? I would consider removing the PPA before manually installing the theme , because if the PPA updates you will have problems with the package system.

This is not a well managed PPA if it is providing incompatible versions of themes. If you are running 12.04 you should be using themes compatible with Gnome 3.4.

To open the file system use
gksudo nautilus
