I am running Ubuntu 15.04. I installed GNOME on top of that. Now I am using GNOME Shell. I heard 3.16 has many improvement. I am thinking about upgrading. My question is that, if I upgrade to GNOME 3.16 will I be able to upgrade to the next version of Ubuntu (15.10) when it arrives?
In the beginning the necessary warning that this is a version that is in development.
You can install the latest version of GNOME with two PPAs:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
Update the repositories:
sudo apt-get update
And upgrade your system (this should be used and not upgrade to avoid problems as stated when adding the PPAs to your system):
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Or if you want to reinstall GNOME
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-gnome-desktop
To revert the upgrade install ppa-purge
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
and the following commands in this order:
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
