Hello,

Have you installed 'gnome-shell' as explained in the wiki [0]?
To get back to regular gnome-shell mode, launch gnome-control-center,
navigate to "System info", tab "Graphics" and set "Force fallback
mode" to OFF. If it still says you cannot use it then you may have
issues with your graphic drivers.
