I recently updated my Ubuntu to 15.04 and now I'm back to Unity shell. The gnome-shell I had became buggy after the update, so I had to revert back. How do I get a Gnome shell (again) without switching to Ubuntu Gnome? I really can't afford to do a reformat right now.

Install the GNOME Shell 3.14 with this command:
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
And for GNOME 3.16 or future GNOME versions
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

Does it really look like Unity (for now)? It still has the side dock and all. Also, when I lock my screen, the lock screen still looks like from Ubuntu. Startup lock screen, however, looks like Gnome. Is it still unfinished?– tonMay 4, 2015 at 9:22

I also keep getting an error on installing "linux-image-extra-3.19.0-16-generic 3.19.0-16.16"– tonMay 4, 2015 at 9:23
