Thread: Upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 Question


hello,

novice user in ubuntu. have 10.10 desktop 64 bit running nicely. have been putting off upgrade notice time now. 1 of reasons being unity desktop, other reason loosing apps or current setup. unity nice not sytle. prefer use gnome.

question if upgrade latest version can still use gnome desktop environment?

have been reading forum , 1 of posts finished reading

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1842828
appreciate input offer

time

ss

with 11.04 can run classic gnome desktop, same have @ moment in maverick. can select either unity or classic gnome @ login screen. have enter username first, after can select either unity (i think says "ubuntu") or classic gnome @ bottom of screen. enter password , taken selected desktop becomes default 1 until such time log other.

if default video driver not support 3d graphics card, system fall classic gnome anyway.

things change in 11.10 transition gnome 3. default desktops unity 3d , unity 2d fallback. possible install package classic gnome near-lookalike there functional differences.

give unity @ least passing try. there many (including myself) did not @ first, prefer it. there couple of links in sig might find useful.

way, when posting url, please not enclose in code tags. if post as-is, forum software makes clickable link, not in code tags.

luck!
