I am using Crouton script to install Gnome Desktop, as that desktop environment is easy for me to work with, as I am completely blind and thus rely on ORCA screen reader to navigate. However, upon installing gnome desktop, I end up with the outdated Xenial environment, which is no longer supported.
Here is my step-by-step walkthrough of how I install Gnome Desktop using Crouton:
Enable Developer Mode
Download Crouton
Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T
Type
shell
and press EnterType:
sudo install -Dt /usr/local/bin -m 755 ~/Downloads/crouton
Press Enter
Type:
sudo crouton -t gnome-desktop
Press Enter
Wait for the installer to complete
Type a username and press Enter
Type a password and press Enter
Retype the password and press Enter
At this point, you can start Gnome by typing:
sudo startgnome
Exactly how do I install the latest version of Ubuntu using Crouton without getting Xenial every time I install Gnome Desktop?
