Gnome Fallback in Ubuntu will be the same (or very similar) to Gnome 2

En OMGUbuntu We can appreciate in one of his post, as will be seen in Ubuntu 12.04 the session of Gnome Fallback, or rather, the Classic Gnome.

As you can see, it is very similar to what we had with Gnome 2. 0_0

In addition to the almost identical appearance, you will have support for effects with Compiz as we can see in the original article. What do you think? Undoubtedly those of Ubuntu.

    They are in a hurry .. Unity does not like their consumers! they have to jump and jump to attract and hold the masses that ubuntu supports.

      Exact. With this Ubuntu can regain ground lost because of MintAlthough it will be necessary to see if it finally succeeds. At least I liked this step, it was smart.

      1.    Jamin samuel said

        I also agree. It's a good step into the play ... the canonical guys finally thought about it a bit.

        Now we will have to see if it will get users to stop using Cinnamon for the gnome classic that ubuntu is offering, Cinnnamon at the rate of its development I don't think it will stop.

          Remember that people with proprietary Ati drivers will not find Gnome 3 or Cinnamon. So this Gnome-Fallback will be an option to consider.

        Excuse me elav, but I think Ubuntu lost ground on its own merits not because of Mint, the latter did their job focusing on it from a different point of view and with a different concept than the one used by Canonical.

          Your comment is valid

    NOT only that, applets and indicators work ...

    Now, I would not say that you are in a hurry, if this were the case, GNOME Classic would be installed by default and it is not the case; And while GNOME Fallback is as old as GNOME 3, the gnome-panel package (which is installed to get this shell) has been in Ubuntu since version 4.10.

    The only thing Canonical did was port it to Gtk + 3.

    To install it, you only have to install the gnome-panel package and it must be done by the user, it is not pre-installed; hence I don't see the "rush."

    They would be surprised to hear about the acceptance of Unity, you just have to be willing to see beyond their noses and put fanaticism aside and, obviously, understand and correctly apply the statistics of distrowatch

      What are you trying to say ... that the district has false data? :OR

      1.    KZKG ^ Gaara said

        That people think that DistroWatch has the absolute truth, that if this site has Puppy as the most popular distro ... they immediately believe that that is the most popular, and when you ask them they only know how to say «in distrowatch is the first" or something like that …

        1.    Jamin samuel said

          I understand I understand .. now here talking among friends with all sincerity, do you think that linux mint is being used more than ubuntu?

          1.    elav <° Linux said

            I don't think that statistically you can prove that.

            1.    KZKG ^ Gaara said

              Actually ... I can think of something hahahaha.
              That Google provides us with the data, it is the # 1 site in the world in visits, we could know more or less there? 🙂

            There should be (If not) a site like Statcounter, but focused on Linux Distributions.

    Does anyone know if it also brings or will bring the global menu? it would be nice and interesting to have it like in unity 😀

  6.   perseus said

    Better late than never, best of all, it will be something "native" and not an extension 😀

    1.    Jamin samuel said

      Of course, yes, although the product they offer is unity and they will surely add more interest to unity .. or maybe it's a way to go back to how it was before ubuntu I have to get into gnome panel classic little by little until it stops next version people completely forget about unity ahahahahaha maybe they don't want to delete unity xD that's why they put gnome classic ahahaha (I do invent things) 😛

    2.    elav <° Linux said

      Exact. But what pisses me off is that if I want to use something like that in Debian, I can't !! Because the tray looks ugly like crazy and the appindicators don't work as they should .. I hate you Ubuntu !!!

      1.    tavo said

        Because they rename the Debian packages, since they take so much from Debian at least they could respect the name of their libraries ... but anyway, that's what it is.

        1.    Martin said

          No, they do not rename debian packages; separate patches are included; this makes many Ubuntu packages not working on Debian.

          Even Linux Mint works similar, many of its packages do not work in Ubuntu (its upstream) or in Debian.

      2.    Martin said

        In this I agree with you, as an Ubuntu user it breaks my balls that another distribution cannot easily use Unity ...

        Beyond the attempts in openSUSE and Fedora where a very good performance was achieved but which they decided not to include in the repos. The collaboration of the Ubuntu team with openSUSE and Fedora is remarkable, but there should be no collaboration, everything should be more fluid.

        1.    KZKG ^ Gaara said

          elav managed (if I remember correctly) to use Unity on ArchLinux

          1.    Jamin samuel said

            Wao .. and I don't take pictures of that ?? very interesting to see uniy in a fedora axis

            1.    KZKG ^ Gaara said

              Unity in Arch, not Fedora 😉


          2.    jamin samuel said

            deeper still ahahahahaha ... boy you are the ninjas of the order debian ahahahahahaha

    Why aren't gelatinous windows coming back in Gnome 3?

    1.    Jamin samuel said

      because it's another concept what the gnome guys are implementing.

    I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, but unfortunately it takes forever to load Unity, so I got into the Gnome Classic session and boala, my Ubuntu works fast 🙂
