Had new installation of Ubuntu-Gnome then add Unity via:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Now I have all this shells at log-in screen

  • System Default
  • Gnome
  • Gnome Classic
  • Ubuntu

I am trying to tune this OS while keeping one Unity and one Gnome:

$ uname -a
3.16.0-31-generic #41~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 11 19:30:13 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ gnome-shell --version
GNOME Shell 3.10.4

What is the best way to do that? i.e purge the two extra shells.

System Default is just an alias for the system default (i.e., if you didn't change your configuration, GNOME Classic), and I believe it cannot be removed from the list. To remove GNOME Classic:

sudo apt-get purge gnome-session-fallback

And to remove its entry from the sessions entries:

sudo rm /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-classic.desktop
