Why won't Gnome3 be installed.
Well yesterday I decided I update to 11.04. Installing of 11.04 went very smooth.
I then decided that I wanted to use GNOME3 instead of Unity. I then added the PPA to the repository and did a update and upgrade. After the reboot I got a blue screen with the login screen in one of the very old themes of ubuntu. When I logged in I did get a sort of combo of Gnome2 unity and Gnome3. Then when I wanted to update it gave a 'only partial upgrade possible'-message. There were two gnome related updates but I couldn't install them for some reason. Then I managed to completely destroy ubuntu because I couldn't login anymore, recovery console didn't work either. Okay so I re-installed ubuntu, everything went smooth, accept that grub was destroyed to, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1746858. After the install I added the ppa again and tried again. The updatemanager gave his 'only partial upgrade possible'-message already at this moment. Well I continued and again no gnome3. Re-installed ubuntu and did exactly what was told here:

Well still didn't work and I need to reinstall ubuntu again.

DO NOT install this on a production machine, THERE IS NO DOWNGRADE PATH. THIS HAS NO WARRANTY, AND IT COULD SERIOUSLY MESS THINGS UP.

Euh...? You mean to say that gnome3 hasn't got a stable release yet?
