I am running Open Suse 11.4 and I am wanting to uninstall GNOME 3.0, can it be done and have the system go back to the orginal GNOME? If so what do I need to do…thanks

You should just need to remove the GNOME3 repository and run a:


zypper dup

No it doesn’t, but it should remove all of the GNOME 3 stuff leaving you with GNOME 2.

Hi to all, and how i can remove all of the GNOME stuff?

The command you are looking for is:

zypper rm $(rpm -qa | grep gnome)

Keep in mind you need to do this as root.
