Install Gnome 3.10 in Ubuntu 13.10:
We shall be using several PPAs to install Gnome 3.10 and distribution upgrade will take some time to finish. I presume you have good internet speed, if not, you can use some of the tips to improve system performance in Ubuntu 13.10.
Step 1: Install GDM [Optional]
First step is to install GDM along with the default LightDM. This is optional but recommended as some people mentioned issues with LightDM. Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and use the following command:
sudo apt-get install gdm
Step 2: Add PPAs and upgrade the system
Now is the time to add some Gnome 3.10 PPAs. Addition of PPAs will be followed by a distribution upgrade which takes time and downloads over 200 MB of data.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-next
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Step 3: Install Gnome shell
Once the upgrade has been done, use the following command to install Gnome 3.10 in Ubuntu.
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
Step 4: Install Gnome specific apps [Optional]
This step too is optional. You may want to install some Gnome specific applications to get the full feel of Gnome 3.10 in Ubuntu. You may face issues with some of these apps.
sudo apt-get install gnome-weather gnome-music gnome-maps gnome-documents gnome-boxes gnome-shell-extensions gnome-tweak-tool gnome-clocks
That would be all you need to do. Restart your computer, at login, choose Gnome by clicking on the gear symbol. Here is what my Gnome 3.10 looks like on my laptop:
Uninstall Gnome 3.10:
Did not like Gnome 3.10? No worries. Uninstall them by deleting PPA. To do that, you need to install PPA Purge (if not installed already). Use the following command:
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
And afterwards, install the PPAs you installed:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-next
This will revert Gnome 3.10 to Gnome 3.8 which is available in Ubuntu 13.10 repository. To completely remove Gnome 3, use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop
This will revert Gnome 3.10 to Gnome 3.8 which is available in Ubuntu 13.10 repository. To completely remove Gnome 3, use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop
And of course you should remove any application that you installed specifically for Gnome 3.10
