Gnome3 for LMDE?
by sloto on Tue Jan 10, 2012 1:38 pm
I moved to LMDE because I didn't like Mint 12 with gnome3. Now I am wondering if gnome 3 will be in my future with LMDE. Anybody please.

short answer: yes 
- gnome3 is already in testing, so the next UP will feature gnome-shell (it will take awhile though because we have to wait for gnome3.2)
anyway it's not "the end of the world" i would say: you can install alternative DE's: xfce, kde, even MATE has a repo for debian.

I'm running 'testing', using MU for updates and it's running fine.
My question:
System Monitor under the 'system' tab states GNOME 3.2.1
The terminal running 'gnome-shell --version' states GNOME Shell 3.0.2
GNOME is different from Gnome Shell?
As far as running Gnome extensions I'm using Gnome 3.0??

Gnome is different. Gnome Shell is one of its components. You probably just have gnome-system-monitor version 3.2.1.
This table should help.

BUMP: Couldn't we just add the debian stable repo's and install the required packages? I read that there's no gnome 3 working for testing or unstable, but I'm sure stable is possible if ubuntu can handle it. Plus if you're running LMDE, (wheezy) I believe, no other packages should be affected, since packages don't typically revert back to stable once updated/unstable and testing ones are installed: at least not with my synaptic experiences.

@mcurran
the topic you are responding is over one year old, the info is outdated and besides see the forum rules regarding bumping old topics.
just FYI gnome3 (and the shell) are in lmde (they surely are not in debian stable)
