Does gnome-shell start? do you see the top bar UI? Anyways it probably best not to use the gnome3-staging and ricotz ppa's at this stage for 14.04, since they likely won't receive further updates/bug fixes. > Again, I got the same result.

I have no idea what this popup is, it certainly shouldnt ask you to upgrade to 15.04, the only supported upgrade path from 14.04 is to 16.04 (not released yet though) > I checked and saw that I did not have mutter. that should be pulled in by ubuntu-gnome-desktop, perhaps there were errors when you run those apt-get comands? > Insatlled mutter and I am still stuck on the same popup message which has a > nicer look, possibly due to mutter. screenshot? > I really want to test GNOME but just cannot get it running on my machine. > Any help would be appreciated. Can't do much without logs, if gnome-shell actaully starts then ~/.cache/upstart/gnome-session-GNOME.log would be useful. > I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I thought I should give > it a try. > > Looking forward to a positive reply > Thanks > Akshit > >
