Gnome 3.10 on Ubuntu 13.04

Question

Is it possible to install the newly released gnome version (3.10) on 13.04? If it's possible, then how?

Solution

To install Gnome 3.10 on Ubuntu 13.04, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

I went a ahead and installed Gnome 3.10, just to see if there is any issues with it. I have installed it on 13.04, and had no problems. See images bellow.

I don't see why it won't work, plus you can always uninstall if you don't like it. I personally doesn't like or use Gnome.

That method installed version 3.9.92 and changed from GDM to LightDM, some way to change to GDM again ? Like it better..

[Mitch]

Install using Software Center or from terminal sudo apt-get install gdm

[Pankhuri]

That made my PC useless.. No login screen.. LightDM get me in, but I'm missing some parts of menus etc.. On turn off pop-up there's no buttons.. Thats an example..

[Mitch]

Do this, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, and choose GDM from the menu. Make sure to restart your computer. If you want your LightDM back, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm.

Did that, well I'm back in Unity now.. Not stable neither.. Think I install 13.10 :P To much crashing now..Applicationcenter wont open, crashes everytime. Compiz crashes.. Unitybar won't show (I have auto-hide).. As you see, too much :P hehe

[Mitch]

I'm going to install it just to see, and I'll let you know.

Ok! Im on gnome again now 3.9.92 as above. With LightDM, don't want to try to install GDM again ;) The buttons works now, they shows. I did 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'..

It works OK, see additions in the answer.

Hm, ok.. It's 3.10 and not 3.9 ? I'll try gdm later! Thanks!

Okay... I've got 3.10 and its interesting... once GDM is working it works, but with flaws. Currently I'm updating through Terminal because software update is crashing, I get those nice system problem messages every time I click out of the last one, and sometimes searching freezes. I'd just wait for 13.10... it seems it isn't fully stable on 13.04 :) Edit No Gnome Apps seem to be working :)

The issues are not with GDM but ubuntu not letting GDM run properly I think! x-(
