I had installed the gnome shell desktop environment on my Ubuntu 14.04 but its not working.

I had been told that after installing it; I would be getting options at the log in time -'asking me' which environments I would like to use. But nothing of that sort had happened. I am still stuck up with my unity environment.

I had used this command:

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
user.dz

Use this commands (minimum installation):

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
sudo apt-get install gnome-session

or simply this (normal installation):

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

On login screen click in (Ubuntu) logo next to username field (in GDM - "gears" icon next to 'Log In'/'Sign In' button) - it will show all available environments.

on the Login-Screen there is a "Ubuntu" - Logo next to your Username. Click it and it will show you the Environments that are installed. Click on "Gnome-Shell" and it should start with Gnome Shell instead of Unity.
