I installed GNOME 3.10. I had GNOME 3.8 and liked it very much. Unfortunately, with 3.10 it seems like something went wrong. None of the backgrounds work and the buttons to log out and shut down are missing.



How can I uninstall and reinstall GNOME 3.10? I am running Ubuntu 13.04.



I originally installed it by:



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

Try this, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:



sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging

sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-next


Then reconfigure either GDM or LightDM, whichever one you like



sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm


OR



sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm


If you don't get 3.8 back, do



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

sudo apt-get update
