View Full Version : Custom gnome install necessary for gnome-shell?
Hi,
I've downloaded the vmware image of the gnome 32-bit Kali.
Mainly, i only installed it so that I could correctly build a custom distro which uses gnome-shell.
But I was thinking that since the latest gnome it installed on the default kali, do I really need to build a custom ISO just to do this or can I safely install gnome shell on the vmware image I already have installed.
Thanks!

Well if I got this right, gnome-shell is already installed. However it looks a bit like the classic gnome shell.
Do you want to setup the new gnome UI?
Yeah I would love the new gnome-shell ui and its already installed, I just dont know how to enable it.
You can enable it by executing: gnome-shell --replace, but I don't know yet how to autostart it :(

Hey,
Maybe you could try something like this :
$ cat ~/.xsessionrc
gnome-shell --replace &
It will automatically run gnome-shell when your user logs in.
It's not perfect, but it works.
