How can I upgrade GNOME to 13.10 In Ubuntu 3.10?

Ubuntu 13.10 is equipped with GNOME 3.8 desktop. Although it is a reliable, stable, and distinctive alternative to Unity, this version is outdated.

The latest GNOME desktop version was released in September 2013, followed by a series of improved functions, applications and availability adjustments. From the support for high-resolution screens to the beautification of client application windows, GNOME 3.10 is a compelling upgraded version.

Good news: If you are running Ubuntu 13.10 and have good network operations and command line level, you do not need to continue using an outdated version of GNOME.

How to upgrade to GNOME 13.10 On Ubuntu 3.10

For those readers who love the preface and go straight to the topic, I would also like to reiterate two points:

To install GNOME 3.10 using this method, you need to run Ubuntu 13.10.

GNOME 3.10 has not been tested on Ubuntu 13.10, so the upgrade risk is at your own risk.

First, let's add the PPA of GNOME 3 to the software resources of Ubuntu. This operation can be performed on the GUI, but it is easier to use commands.

Open a newTerminalWindow, enter the following command, and enter your user password as needed:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-next && sudo apt-get update

After adding the PPA and updating the package list, we can continue to install GNOME 3.10. Run the following command and enter your user password again when prompted:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop

It takes some time to obtain and install all necessary packages and components, so be patient.

During the installation process, a prompt is displayed on the terminal asking you to select a Display Manager. The default window is "login window ".

This decision depends entirely on you; UBuntu's Unity Greeter and GNOME Display Manager allow you to easily switch between desktop sessions (if you want to maintain the Unity interface or another desktop ), however, only the specific features provided to GNOME by the target group, such as screen lock notifications, are supported.

After you confirm the selection, use the up and down keys to select, and then press the 'OK/return' key to confirm. The installation will continue.
