Install Ubuntu Gnome on Ubuntu MATE

Sat Dec 26 06:31:49 UTC 2015

This was what I got when I tried to go for installing ubuntu-gnome-desktop.

The following extra packages will be installed:
  gnome-accessibility-themes nautilus-share rhythmbox-plugin-magnatune
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  gnome-accessibility-themes nautilus-share rhythmbox-plugin-magnatune
  ubuntu-gnome-desktop

I don't believe these are absolutely necessary packages.
And there is not top panel. I am posting the output of the log. It seems to
me that some packages are still missing :

I was thinking of going for a clean slate and then start fresh. Will
purging all the repos and removing ubuntu-gnome-desktop be enough for that?
I have tried logging in with both gdm and lightdm but i get the same
result. The popup message is surprisingly gone. Aand another thing I
noticed was that I was getting that prompt in other tty's also and that is
also gone.
