Is there classic mode in Ubuntu 12.10?

Question

My computer is older (it has a Radeon 9200 video card) and it just doesn't seem to be able to handle Unity. Is there some way that I can set for the desktop to start up in classic mode instead? Thanks.

Solution 1

You just need to run this command:

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

Log out and you can see the classic gnome on the menu:

Solution 2

sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

brings some additional software that may be useful, and looks prettier

Gnome panel is now installed with the gnome-session-fallback so there is no need to also do the gnome-panel.
