Re: how to install gnome3 in debian

I use gnome shell in experimental and love it! Firstly make sure you have the repositories for sid (unstable) and experimental. It looks like from your package versions that this is not the case, if in doubt post the contents of your apt sources list ( /etc/apt/sources.list ).

A good method I have found for using gnome-shell is to add the packages it depends on to the /etc/apt/preferences file, mine currently looks like this:

Code: Select all


Package: gnome-shell mutter gir1.2-mutter-2.91 mutter-common evolution iceweasel gir1.2-gtk-3.0 libgail-3-0 libgtk-3-0 gir1.2-atk-1.0 gir1.2 clutter-1.0 gir1.2-freedesktop gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 gir1.2-glib-2.0 gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-json-glib-1.0 gir1.2-mutter-2.91 gir1.2-pango-1.0 gir1.2 telepathyglib-0.12 gir1.2-telepathylogger-0.2 gjs libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo-gobject2 libcairo2 libcamel1.2-19 libcamel1.2-19 libcanberra0 libclutter-1.0-0 libcroco3 libdbus-1-3 libdbus-glib-1-2 libdrm2 libebook1.2-10 libecal1.2-8 libedataserver1.2-14 libedataserverui1.2-11 libffi5 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libgconf2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgirepository-1.0-1 libgjs0b libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1 libglib2.0-0 libgnome-desktop-3-0 libgnome-menu2 libgstreamer0.10-0 libgtk-3-0 libgtk2.0-0 libical0 libjson-glib-1.0-0 libmozjs4d libmutter0 libnspr4-0d libnss3-1d libpango1.0-0 libpolkit-agent-1-0 libpolkit-gobject-1-0 libpulse-mainloop-glib0 libpulse0 libsoup2.4-1 libsqlite3-0 libstartup-notification0 libtelepathy-glib0 libtelepathy-logger2 libx11-6 libxcomposite1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxml2 gconf2 libdconf0 gsettings-backend gnome-settings-daemon gnome-control-center gsettings-desktop-schemas gir1.2-gconf-2.0 gir1.2-gkbd-3.0 gir1.2-polkit-1.0 gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0 python pkg-config mesa-utils nautilus

Pin-Priority: 900
This appears to help keep gnome-shell usable as mine kept breaking when it updated due to incorrect versions of other packages. It will be interesting to see what happens to the Debian packages when gnome 3 is officially released.

OK, I have installed Gnome-3 but I have lost my gnome 2.x, can't I have both gnome3 and gnome2.x side by side or in worst case remove gnome 3 and reinstall gnome 2.x :(

I installed gnome3 just now and I run this:

# apt-get install -t experimental gnome3-session

This installed me a lot of packages but removes 7. One of these 7 was gnome-session-common I think. The other 6 seems not be important for my problem.

Now, I'm on GNome3 but it is very very ugly.I have activities and more but windows are ugliest and I cant open, for example, system configuration or volume control...

Any suggestions?

I had this problem too. My advice would be to just downgrade back to unstable and wait until GNOME 3 comes to the unstable repository. I tried the Fedora 15 live cd with GNOME 3 and i am very impressed :D

I tried the Suse Live CD in a virtual machine. Due to lack of hardware acceleration, the fall-back is similar to Gnome 2. I'm now installing using sid and experimental repos on a squeeze install (again, in a vm).

EDIT: It works, but only just. It has a little trouble rendering windows but there is a desktop. Virtualbox doesn't have good video accelelation, if at all.

From what I've read this isn't gnome2.x but is actually an alternate interface within gnome3. Just for the record. GNOME 3 and Its Fallback Desktop - Linux Magazine Online

Installed on a wheezy system, and it pulled in pulseaudio too. Most keyboard shortcuts have gone, and the touchpad won't respond to taps even though it's enabled.

It's too incomplete yet to be usable. I'll wait until it hits the stable/testing repos.

You really shouldn't be trying to downgrade a major installation like gnome 3. It simply won't work. For something like this, you should backup your root partition before the upgrade, so you can restore it if need be.

Don't worry, lots of us have done it. You've done something risky by using testing/unstable/experimental packages, so a backup is always a good idea first. If it was 1 or 2 packages, you might get away with it, but gnome 3 was quite a lot and changed some major stuff.

To fix this install the gnome-themes-standard package from experimental. I think you have run in to this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=617522

Can you check that you have run the aptitude update command to make these changes take effect. If this still does not fix it easily, you will either need to manually help aptitude sort out the dependency mess, basically look at what problems it flags up and try to fix them individually one by one, or you could wait for the latest gnome packages to enter Debian.

I pulled gnome3 from the experimental repos on my Linux Mint Debian Edition install with this command :

apt-get install -t experimental gnome3-session

It's not nearly as polished as the demo from the live cd's and not really worth it until the rough edges are polished a little more. I could not access any sort of configuration menus, the background couldn't be changed from that plain blue horror, the icons were all messed up, etc. Lots of things need to be ironed out before it can be fun to use. I have to say though, I like the way the activities button works. This WILL be a great desktop once it is a little more debugged.

Have in mind that what we have in experimental is not GNOME 3 but the alpha version and judging by the version numbers it's not even the latest alpha. You can find the status of GNOME 3 in Debian here - http://www.0d.be/debian/debian-gnome-3.0-status.html . So far only 12 out of 117 packages are uptodate.
