Hi, I wanted to test gnome 3.10 on ubuntu 13.10. I installed it from:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

then after a while I removed gnome like this:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-next
sudo purge gnome-shell

Now I'm back in Unity, but some hings remained from gnome 3.10, like:
window decorations
close-maximize-minimize buttons are gone (only one large button on the right side like in gnome) in nautilus and others...
touchscreen is not working properly like before - touch to click has bugs like in gnome 3.10
and more...

How do I go back to original Ubuntu settings like before...???


Update: so I managed to do it.

sudo apt-get purge unity ubuntu-desktop nautilus* gnome* compiz*

sudo apt-get install unity ubuntu-desktop nautilus compiz gnome-session

These problems remain:
1. there are two different network indicators on unity panel (one with some lock icon)
2. in session menu there is red icon before username

Any ideas...???

Install the synaptic package manager and check for auto removable packages under status or use the following command .
sudo apt-get autoremove I too tried the gnome 3 team ppa on my last release and the purge left a number of packages on my system which I removed with synaptic. Logout/in after the packages have been removed.
