    Re: 11.10 Gnome Shell doesn't work properly

    Some how I am too new to Ubuntu and faced the same problem. But the solution given here worked and its working fine. Only question is can we use old Ubuntu interface in Ubuntu 11.10

    When you say 'old interface' do you mean Gnome? If so, you can select Gnome Classic when you log on. It is not exactly the same, but pretty similar.

    If you don't like Unity or Gnome Shell, I advise LXDE. It's a pretty similar desktop, lightweight and easy to use.
    Ubuntu - free and good!

    I'm having a problem where I select the gnome option from the login menu, but it reverts to gnome classic. Did the steps using the guide to purge fglrx, and install the open source drivers. Any suggestions?

    The solution metioned caused a black screen after rebooting. What i did is to reinstall fglrx and the screen displayed correct after rebooting. Hope this helps. I had this error on a Win7 desktop PC HP p6715nl
