This entry was posted in and tagged on April 26, 2013 by Richard W.

Fans of the classic GNOME Desktop can rejoice that it hasnt been completely removed from

Ubuntu 13.04. You can still enable the classic GNOME Desktop by installing gnome session

fallback. Some folks out there are still not sold on the new Ubuntu Unity. They still love the classic

desktop even if its over 20 years old. For others, thats all they know. Its easy to access

applications, easy to setup and not too difficult to get around. All of these give these users the

reasons to stay with the classic desktop.

This brief guide is going to show you how to enable it in Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail.

GNOME is a desktop environment that runs on top of Unix-like operating system. It original goal

was to make a desktop environment made of entirely free and open source software. It was the

default desktop environment for most Unix-like operating system, including Ubuntu.

Ubuntu has since changed to Unity and may not be the end of the story. Canonical, the parent

company of Ubuntu is also thinking of replacing Unity with something else.

To get started with enabling GNOME Classic, press CtrlAltT on your keyboard to open the

terminal. When it opens, run the commands below to install gnome session fallback, a fallback to

GNOME Desktop.
