It is believed that many inexperienced people have no idea about how to upgrade Gnome 3.10 to Gnome 3.12 in Ubuntu 14.04. therefore, this paper summarizes the causes and solutions of the problem. I hope you can solve this problem through this article.

If you recently installed or updated to Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 LTS, you will be able to enjoy a stable and reliable Gnome shell experience. But Ubuntu 14.04 uses Gnome 3.10 instead of the latest Gnome 3.12, so how do you upgrade to Gnome 3.12?

Before upgrading, you need to know why the default is Gnome 3.10.

Gnome 3.12 was released in late March and although it predates the release of Ubuntu 14.04, it is not integrated into Ubuntu Gnome 14.04. This is because the development cycle of Gnome 3.12 does not give it enough time to review and test to support the LTS version, and the default Gnome 3.10 ensures its stability. This is why upgrading to Gnome 3.12 is not recommended.

If you already know the risks and want to upgrade to Gnome 3.12, you can refer to the following method.

Before upgrading, make sure that you are using Ubuntu 14.04 and that Gnome 3.10 is installed. If you are using a non-Gnome desktop environment such as Unity, you also need to install Gnome 3.10 first.

Apt:gnome-shell (click install)

Then make sure the system has been updated

The code is as follows:

Sudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If there is an update, you must install the update first, and add the upgrade PPA after completing the update.

The code is as follows:

Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging

Sudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Wait for the system to upgrade to Gnome 3.12.If you want to experience more features, you need to install new applications such as Maps.

The code is as follows:

Sudo apt-get install epiphany-browser gnome-maps polari-y

Restart after the installation is complete, and remember to select the Gnome session in the login screen.

If you want to go back to Gnome 3.10, you can clear the previously added upgrade PPA with the following command.

The code is as follows:

Sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

Sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
