How can I install gnome within DeepinOS?

devux · 12-03-2016, 12:14 PM

I like deepin, I do. But there is no customization to the look of it. I am trying to install gnome and go with what I know but I am running into errors trying to install gnome on deepin. Any advice?

Also, found this kind of funny since it was part of DeepinOS files: https://i.imgsafe.org/1eb5f2d2b3.png

Hi: & Welcome to Linux Questions.

I liked Deepin too when I was running it but like you I found it to be very plain.

Here's the .deb package of 'Gnome' if you'd like to install it that way.
Scroll to the bottom of that page, pick your pc's architecture and download your pkg.
CD to the directory that the pkg is in and use dpkg -- install (name of pkg) to install it.
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/gnome

If that doesn't work use these cmd's.

Code:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

Than run:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

And to install Gnome:

Code:

sudo apt-get install gnome

Logoff, then select the Gnome Desktop at the login screen.
