Why use a PPA ? Gnome 3.4 is the default in the software center on 12.04 . What do you mean by forget about the default solution ?

[amrosama77]

All what I want is to have this gnome >> http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/

beside my default unity desktop

I used PPA as I didn't know in the beginning that it is there in the software center and maybe this is the problem ,not sure

details, after my try to have gnome 3.4 on my ubuntu I only have the login screen with gnome options but not the real desktop (check the attached screen shot)

this is what I get when I login to gnome option !!!!

Please advice,

That looks like gnomes fallback session (does that when Shell can't load). I would hazard a guess that something is wrong with the graphics driver being used.

If you have shell it should have 3 options on the login screen when you click the little "ubuntu" logo on the top right of where you sign in.

Gnome
Gnome Classic
Gnome Classic (no effects)

Do you get a black screen with a little unhappy computer face up when you log in on the normal "Gnome" session?

[amrosama77]

for my login menu I have,

gnome (with ubuntu icon)
gnome classic (gnome icon)
gnome no effect (gnome icon)
recovery console
unity
unity 2D
user defined session

and for the drivers please check the attached file,

NO

Here is a PPA purge if you did install with the Linked PPA.

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

sudo ppa-purge ppa:ricotz/testing

sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
