THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR N00BS
(do NOT try this!)
My friend Erick in Mexico City sent me this link:
installing gnome 3 on Ubuntu 10.xx
Yes, the original post is in Spanish, and my espanol is not up to par. So I translated the page into English.
The directions were pretty clear, but there is one error. I will repost the recipe here with the correction. (Yup,
It IS in Spanish. I was a little intimidated since sudo got translated to: I sweat!) Note, the original post had a space between the ppa name and gnome3. Nope that didn’t work, but was easily fixed.
Here’s the recipe:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome3-session
Also note, the I did NOT do the dist-upgrade as posted in the original article.
Logout. Choose gnome-3 at the bottom centre of the login, screen and go for it!
Thanks Erick! (now I just have to figure out how to use it!)
Extra points if you can figure out where my desktop image was taken. Hint: It’s NOT in Arizona!

Gnome3 is not compatible with either release, which is why it hasn’t been updated in the repos. Maverick is EOL too…
