Thanks! It's really thanks to Botspot for creating Pi Power Tools that made the process so easy though...

Re: HOWTO: Install the GNOME Desktop Enviroment on Raspberry Pi OS lite (With new script, video and image)
Hello,
Am new to raspberry Pi. Didn’t realize while running your git repository and all my settings with Raspbian is gone. Is there a way to undo by any chance to go back to my old raspbian with all my settings?
Please reply.

Luckily, I have actually found a way of reverting the changes.
If you run:
then:
you can then re-install using:
This may leave some left over gnome apps, but you should have Raspberry Pi OS desktop back
Does this work for you?
If you run:
Code: Select all
sudo apt remove gnome-session gnome-shell nautilus gedit gnome-terminal seahorse gnome-tweaks piwiz network-managerCode: Select all
sudo apt auotremoveCode: Select all
sudo apt install raspberrypi-ui-mods pi-greeter rpd-iconsDoes this work for you?

Re: HOWTO: Install the GNOME Desktop Enviroment on Raspberry Pi OS lite (With new script, video and image)
Thank you for your quick response. Am still figuring out how to now connect to terminal via SSH to run those commands which you gave. Not having monitor and so not able log in back to pi and run those commands.Giga_Pi wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 11:44 amLuckily, I have actually found a way of reverting the changes.

Hello Giga_Pi,
You have done good job creating this. Saying those on after reading all comments who have installed and its working for them. But for nerd like me did not think of backing up my system before trying this out. Am agreeing this due to lack of my knowledge. But if you can just put this "WARNING" statement (Please do back up your system if something fails so original system image can be loaded back to get you to a state where it was working all for your in Raspberry Pi Desktop OS) inside your original post to beginners who are trying to do this. Actually had all VPN, Docker, nextcloudPi and was running my system smooth but after this nothing is coming up. The internet broke, could not find what IP is assigned to raspberry pi, basically don't know what my external SSD was doing it. So now simply loading the fresh copy of Raspbian OS and starting from scratch. This is a big learning for me though. Have to learn to back my system.
This would really help others like me before trying this.
Now to try your this GNOME we will use fresh SD Card to play around first and then will go forward with it.
Thank You :)

Yeah, although I think in the original post, I did mention a fresh install of Raspberry Pi OS lite was required. I'll make a more explicit warning.upi4 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 2:30 pmHello Giga_Pi,

Sorry about all your data getting lost, I hope that hasn't affected too much.
