How to install Unity desktop on 18.10? [duplicate]

I want to use Unity desktop environment on my modern Ubuntu 18.10 instead of GNOME Shell.

Which package should I install?


Solution 1:

According to search results from packages.ubuntu.com you need to install ubuntu-unity-desktop meta-package ("The Ubuntu Unity desktop system"):

sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop

Then reconfigure LightDM as main greeter when prompted or manually with

sudo apt install lightdm
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

And continue to use it as before. Below are a screenshots from 18.10:
