Getting an error message when I try to install Gnome.

Hi all, I'm a total Linux nood here. Basically I am trying to install the Gnome Enviroment, and whenever I try to install it in my Package Manager I get this error message:

Could not mark all packages for installation or upgrade.
The following packages have unresolvable dependencies. Make sure that the required repositories are added and enabled in the 'Repositories@ option under 'Settings'

gnome:
Depends: gedit (>=3.0) but 2.30.4-2ubuntu1 is to be installed
Recommends: browser-plugin-gnash but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gnome-games-extra-data but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: liferea but it is not going to be installed or
evolution-rss but it is not going to be installed or
blam but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: telepathy-idle but it is not going to be installed


This is literally the 3rd day I have been using Linux, and I really don't have a clue what I'm doing in all honesty, but I downloaded the XFCE enviroment completely fine.

I'm using Linux Mint 14.

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance!

What you want is gnome-shell rather than gnome, IIRC.
Try installing gnome-shell and gnome-session. Might not need both though; been a while since I used gnome.

Have you considered using Cinnamon instead? It's more or less a tweaked/extended version of gnome-shell.

Thanks! Worked perfectly
