I really try to use Unity on the new Ubuntu LTS as much as possible and make it part of my workflow, but many times I liked Unity after a while and others I hated it. So I decided to go back to Gnome Classic. In case you are in the same boat as me just open a Terminal and run 

 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

 

After installing the packages. Log off the account and in the login screen click on the area shown in the picture bellow:

 

Change

 

Now select GNOME Classic 

 

Select

 

Now when you log on you should be all set:

Desktop

Hope this information is useful for others that find themselves in the same situation as me.
