Hello...

I don't find any answer at this question....

It's possible to change DE for install Ultimate Edition 3.5 like Ultimate Edition 3.4 ? (Gnome fallback I think) or change as default setting after?
(Not at the log on because i'm install in autolog)

Sorry my english is not perfect

Thanks

After you boot to desktop then logout.

Once logged out, you can select default desktop and login again.

Im assuming you mean Gnome Classic. Click on the blue square in upper right hand corner and change window manager to compiz. Gnome does not work and does not have compiz even if it did.

After you change the window manager, go into compiz configuration settings manager and make sure unity plug in is off.

I think you might like 3.4 lite better. It uses Mate, but it is probably the "Gnome" you would be better off with.

Thanks, I'm going testing ;)

Edit : I've tested UE3.4 and work well, but bookmark colonn of firefox is locked and not in 3.5 (but not same settings and DE)
Difficult to choose... :-/

Thanks for your recommandations.
