Ubuntu LTS 14.06 Gnome

I was using beta for Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome for sometime on my virtual box. As i don't want to use Default Unity version as it is heavy on my Vbox. Hoping that these issues are fixed in final LTS release but unfortunately this is not the case.

1. But gnome had few issues as after boot it used to crash every time.

2. Sometime after login to gnome it comes up with just black screen and we have to reboot 2 or 3 times hoping that it will come up.
Workaround: Press Ctrl + Alt + F1 terminal will open login and do :
#startx
Otherwise : Enable gnome autologin from /etc/gdm/custom.conf

Automatically gnome session will start and you will get gnome login.

3. Ubuntu Software Center displays software description text which is almost invisible.





Hope these issues will be fixed in updates soon.
