I've installed Ubuntu Server Edition and setup open ssh,samba and lamp on my home desktop just to work on LAN. I also want setup a GUI on it for daily use.



I've already performed the following



sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
sudo apt-get install lightdm-gtk-greeter
sudo apt-get install xinit


I don't want to install Unity or the Gnome3 Shell on my system. Also I haven't found instructions to installing gnome-classic on a server edition(although it shouldn't make a difference).How do I get it to work?

  • also please be aware that while a lot of people think fallback mode is there to placate previous GNOME 2 users, it isn't. it's deprecated and has been dropped from GNOME 3.8 which means that when you eventually upgrade to something equal to or greater than 13.10 (Saucy), fallback mode won't be available anymore.
