| dude | hello dudes | 15:19 |
| dude | if i want to upgrade from maverick to natty | 15:19 |
| dude | do i have to install first ubuntu-studio on maverick | 15:19 |
| dude | so on the upgrade it also installs gnome2? | 15:19 |
| holstein | dude: installing ubuntustudio-desktop will do that | 15:31 |
| holstein | i would do it after the upgrade | 15:31 |
| holstein | arguably faster | 15:31 |
| holstein | either way... i would *not* do an upgrade unless theres just no other way | 15:32 |
| holstein | takes 4 ever | 15:32 |
| dude | my settings? | 15:48 |
| dude | i think ubuntu natty will erase gnome2? | 15:48 |
| holstein | dude: you have what installed now? | 15:56 |
| holstein | just plain ubuntu? | 15:56 |
| holstein | if you have ubuntustudio installed | 15:56 |
| holstein | you upgrade, and you get gnome | 15:56 |
| holstein | if you upgrade in the vanilla, you get unity | 15:56 |
| holstein | you can have both | 15:56 |
| holstein | i would just choose a path by which to upgrade/obtain natty | 15:59 |
| holstein | and deal with the DE when you get there | 15:59 |
| holstein | dude: maverick i mean* | 15:59 |
| dude | i installed ubuntu maverick plain with gnome2 | 16:13 |
| dude | what DE? | 16:13 |
| holstein | desktop environment | 16:15 |
| holstein | DE = unity, gnome, whatever | 16:15 |
| holstein | if you want to upgrade to maverick, just upgrade to maverick | 16:15 |
| holstein | then, get the DE you want when you get there | 16:15 |
| holstein | you can install gnome, and have unity and gnome | 16:16 |
| holstein | you can install ubuntustudio-desktop, which will give you gnome2 with the ubuntustudio look/feel | 16:16 |
| holstein | dude: so, you are on maverick already? | 16:17 |
| holstein | you want to upgrade to natty? | 16:17 |
| holstein | same deal | 16:17 |
| holstein | you'll upgrade to natty | 16:17 |
| holstein | you'll get whateve DE you're hardware supports | 16:18 |
| holstein | you'll probably get unity with the 'classic' desktop option | 16:18 |
| holstein | classic is gnome2 | 16:18 |
| holstein | but, you just decide when you get there | 16:18 |
| holstein | or relax, and dont install natty | 16:18 |
| holstein | dude: how about this... upgrade to, or install natty, and come here, or #ubuntu or #ubuntu-beginners if you need help getting gnome running | 16:30 |
| dude | i have to save the gnome settings somewhere | 17:53 |
| dude | then i might be able to upgrade | 17:53 |
| dude | i think its stored in my home dir | 17:53 |
| dude | for oneric i will have to wait till someone releases a mate | 17:54 |
| holstein | dude: mate? | 19:10 |
| holstein | you can always just copy your home directory | 19:10 |
| holstein | upgrading will keep that in place though | 19:10 |
| holstein | all of those relavant settings will stay in place | 19:10 |
| dude | mate is the fork of gnome actually sed in archlinux | 19:54 |
| dude | used | 19:54 |
| holstein | eh, will see if it sticks aroung | 19:55 |
| holstein | around* | 19:55 |
| holstein | personally, i say check out XFCE | 19:55 |
| holstein | its not unlike gnome2 | 19:55 |
| holstein | and it *very* well developed | 19:55 |
| holstein | it is* | 19:55 |
| holstein | mate is the 2nd fork i know of | 19:55 |
| holstein | and its abviously not the future | 19:56 |
| dude | i cannot use that | 19:59 |
| holstein | dude: use what? | 20:00 |
| holstein | XFCE? | 20:00 |
| holstein | why? | 20:00 |
| holstein | its very gnome2 like | 20:00 |
| holstein | i think you are thinking of LXDE | 20:00 |
| holstein | or KDE | 20:00 |
| dude | well gnome2 was a good compromise | 21:33 |
