I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and have had gnome shell happily working for ages. Last week I saw
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/skype...lable-for.html and thought I'd give it a try. Not a good move, got a failure message pop up during install and then gnome shell fell over and would not re-load. I tried re-starting from CLI and got more errors thatn I could keep up with so I thought I'd re-install the shell. No joy, then I tried purging the various gnome ppa's I had enabled so I could try re-installing in a clean manner (Gnome team, gnome 3 ppa, gnome shell testing ppa, webupd8 gnome 3 ppa) So after an afternoon of purging I did:-
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/gnome3
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-theme-standard gnome-tweak-tool gnome-contacts gnome-sushi dconf-tools
and then I get:-
Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
dconf-tools is already the newest version.
gnome-contacts is already the newest version.

What do I do next??? I really want gnome-shell back, I can't get on with Unity, KDE sucks and I don't really see any other options that do it for me.
