I just installed GNOME Shell. Only a File Menu is being displayed. GNOME Classic works just fine. Can someone help me? I'd like to have the GNOME 3 user interface.

My system specs are : Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz, 1GB DDR2 RAM, Intel 82865g with 96 mb video RAM and 3d acceleration.

Here's a screenshot:

Try

open the terminal and type

sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell and then sudo apt-get install gnome-shell. What method did you use to install the gnome-shell?

You can get the latest Version of the gnome-shell via ppa. That could possibly solve your problem.

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