Public bug reported: I hate Unity and am only interested in running new Ubuntu's if I can install gnome.
The release notes here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes?action=show&redirect=OneiricOcelot%2FTechnicalOverview say: GNOME 3.2 is included and is a major upgrade from GNOME 2.32 included in Ubuntu 11.04. GNOME Classic is no longer installed by default, but can be enabled after installation completes by installing gnome-panel THIS IS FALSE. It's easy to reproduce. While running the Live image (desktop-i386) from USB stick, I got this result: apt-get install gnome-panel Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package gnome-panel is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'gnome-panel' has no installation candidate The same result occurs whether or not I have run "apt-get update". To Fix: (1) Make gnome-panel installable from the repos. AND/OR (2) Change the release notes so that they don't tell people to do things that fail. Best of all would be: (3) Quit with the Not-Invented-Here attitude, don't force the Unity crud on everyone; make a simple way to delete Unity and install Gnome by default (or merely INSTALL it by default, next to Unity, and let people pick it in the login screen). ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876107 Title: relnotes in 11.10 say to install gnome-panel but it doesn't install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/876107/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
