Removing Gnome from Ubuntu 14.04

[Balázs Németh]

Hey, thanks for the answers, seems we had a little misunderstanding. So, I
installed the standard ubuntu desktop, downloaded from
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop (not the Ubuntu GNOME...)

After I did:
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop

Than my nvdidia card said no, thankyou, and I tries dot remove it with
commands:
sudo apt-get remove gnome
sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-gnome-desktop
sudo apt-get remove gnome-shell
sudo apt-get remove gnome-tweak-tool

Hovever, as I mentioned, a few leftovers stayed, so I've got now a funny
mixed desktop. I hope it is clearer now what is my issue. Any help
appreciated.

Best,
Balazs Nemeth
