    Can't log into Gnome session in UNR 10.04

    Hi

    I have installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 on my Sony Vaio netbook. I want to be able to log into a Gnome session as an alternative to UNR. The main reason for wanting to do this is to be able to add some applets to the panel which I use a lot. This is not possible in UNR, which is really irritating! However, I really like UNR otherwise, so don't want to just install standard version.

    Synaptic shows that Gnome is not installed, but when I try to install it, I get this error message:
    gnome: Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed

    I tried uninstalling Epiphany, which I sometime use instead of Firefox, but still got the error. I installed Ubuntu-Desktop, but when I select "Gnome" from the session menue at the bottom of the login page, it just logs into UNR session.

    How do I install Gnome desktop so that I can log into a Gnome session?

    Thanks

    I have never used UNR and it looks like Sources of UNR not configured for Ubuntu Desktop packages. Post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list file here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Send me a PM. I will edit your last post and attach your sources.list file there.
