Hi David, I suspect you will find that it is pretty hard. Gnome 2 is quite different to Unity/Gnome Shell, which both use Gnome 3 applications. You would have to completely uninstall all Gnome applications, and then find someone who is still compiling Gnome 2 for Ubuntu (there may be some Debian versions around), then install them.
There is an option though to install the gnome-session-fallback package, which looks and feels more like Gnome 2. Check out the guide here for details http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-classic-gnome-desktop-in-ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail.html If you don't like Unity, there is an option to use the Gnome version of Ubuntu, which uses Gnome 3 without Unity. This is now an official remix, and can be downloaded from http://ubuntugnome.org/ Joel On 04/09/2013, at 5:38 PM, David Bowskill <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello All > Can anybody please tell me how difficult it is to replace the window > manager(s) in the latest Ubuntu with Gnome2 from Ubuntu 10.04 ? > > Thanks > > David > > -- > ubuntu-au mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
