Just to clarify - you want the GNOME Shell Classic extension, not the fallback GNOME Panel GUI.
Did you install the the right package for the GNOME Classic Shell after you added the PPA? I know at least in openSUSE it's called "gnome-shell-classic". I'd search for a package name similar to that. Once you install it, you can select "GNOME Classic" as you log in.
What version of Ubuntu GNOME are you using? Later today I might be able to look for myself and find the package name in the repos.

Correct! I don't want Fallback, or even some quality extension like "Application Menu"
My version is Ubuntu GNOME 15.10. I couldn't find it on my logon screen.
First I added the PPA, then I tried:
sudo apt install gnome-classic-session
That didn't work, so I most certainly didn't install the right package.
