dudehello dudes15:19
dudeif i want to upgrade from maverick to natty15:19
dudedo i have to install first ubuntu-studio on maverick15:19
dudeso on the upgrade it also installs gnome2?15:19
holsteindude: installing ubuntustudio-desktop will do that15:31
holsteini would do it after the upgrade15:31
holsteinarguably faster15:31
holsteineither way... i would *not* do an upgrade unless theres just no other way15:32
holsteintakes 4 ever15:32
dudemy settings?15:48
dudei think ubuntu natty will erase gnome2?15:48
holsteindude: you have what installed now?15:56
holsteinjust plain ubuntu?15:56
holsteinif you have ubuntustudio installed15:56
holsteinyou upgrade, and you get gnome15:56
holsteinif you upgrade in the vanilla, you get unity15:56
holsteinyou can have both15:56
holsteini would just choose a path by which to upgrade/obtain natty15:59
holsteinand deal with the DE when you get there15:59
holsteindude: maverick i mean*15:59
dudei installed ubuntu maverick plain with gnome216:13
dudewhat DE?16:13
holsteindesktop environment16:15
holsteinDE = unity, gnome, whatever16:15
holsteinif you want to upgrade to maverick, just upgrade to maverick16:15
holsteinthen, get the DE you want when you get there16:15
holsteinyou can install gnome, and have unity and gnome16:16
holsteinyou can install ubuntustudio-desktop, which will give you gnome2 with the ubuntustudio look/feel16:16
holsteindude: so, you are on maverick already?16:17
holsteinyou want to upgrade to natty?16:17
holsteinsame deal16:17
holsteinyou'll upgrade to natty16:17
holsteinyou'll get whateve DE you're hardware supports16:18
holsteinyou'll probably get unity with the 'classic' desktop option16:18
holsteinclassic is gnome216:18
holsteinbut, you just decide when you get there16:18
holsteinor relax, and dont install natty16:18
holsteindude: how about this... upgrade to, or install natty, and come here, or #ubuntu or #ubuntu-beginners if you need help getting gnome running16:30
dudei have to save the gnome settings somewhere17:53
dudethen i might be able to upgrade17:53
dudei think its stored in my home dir17:53
dudefor oneric i will have to wait till someone releases a mate17:54
holsteindude: mate?19:10
holsteinyou can always just copy your home directory19:10
holsteinupgrading will keep that in place though19:10
holsteinall of those relavant settings will stay in place19:10
dudemate is the fork of gnome actually sed in archlinux19:54
dudeused19:54
holsteineh, will see if it sticks aroung19:55
holsteinaround*19:55
holsteinpersonally, i say check out XFCE19:55
holsteinits not unlike gnome219:55
holsteinand it *very* well developed19:55
holsteinit is*19:55
holsteinmate is the 2nd fork i know of19:55
holsteinand its abviously not the future19:56
dudei cannot use that19:59
holsteindude: use what?20:00
holsteinXFCE?20:00
holsteinwhy?20:00
holsteinits very gnome2 like20:00
holsteini think you are thinking of LXDE20:00
holsteinor KDE20:00
dudewell gnome2 was a good compromise21:33
