If you have found that the Kubuntu environment is not for you, you may want to remove it. | |||

Once you have installed KDE using the kubuntu-desktop meta package, you unfortunately cannot just remove that and be done with it.

After restarting your session as GNOME in place of KDE, you are back to a clean Ubuntu (Gnome) desktop with no KDE programs. | |||
== To Remove Ubuntu Desktop == | |||
As with Kubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu desktop cannot be deleted by simply removing the meta package. Innstead, you will need to follow the instructions on [[UbuntuHelp:PureKDE|this|page]]. I will not bother rewriting the instructions here as the author of this other page did a wonderful job. | |||
== Notes == | |||
Note this can also be done to switch between any environments (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.) by following the same instructions, but substituting the name of the desktop in the meta package. | |||
==== Comments on this Page ==== | |||
* emm --> shouldn't the user use 'aptitude remove' and 'aptitude purge' instead of using the lower-level apt-get command? | |||
* It shouldn't make a difference in this case. Plus, it keeps consistency with other how-tos that use apt-get. greg-g | |||
* Could someone who knows his stuff add instructions on how to fully remove gnome? I once did this, and it took more than 2 hours. fhd | |||
* I'm trying to switch from Kubuntu to Ubuntu, immediately after ubgrading to Koala, and the command does not work as given. Several packages abort the command with, e.g., "E: Couldn't find package kdeadmin-kfile-plugins" (as opposed to "Package kde-icons-mono is not installed, so not removed". Also, perhaps you should also have instructions for going to/from Xubuntu? This is my kludged list of the Kubuntu packages which abort the command: | |||

</nowiki></pre> | |||
Obviously, I have no idea if there are other packages which should be removed, but are not listed in your command. | |||
And another addition: the command given also removed a variety of non-KDE programs, notably (s)mplayer and firefox! | |||

From the Gnome Desktop
Note: This only works with an internet connection, as packages must be downloaded from the internet. If you're viewing this page, you probably already have a connection. Of course, the greater the speed, the faster the packages will download.
Installation
To do this we are going to install the kubuntu-desktop meta package. A meta package is simply a "dummy" package which depends on a bunch of others. It makes it easy to install a group of packages all at once.
- Navigate to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager
- Enter your password
- Click on the Search icon. And enter kubuntu-desktop
- Select the "kubuntu-desktop" package. It will ask you if you want to install a bunch of packages, click Ok.
- Then, take a deep breath, and click on Apply It will ask you if you are sure and then start installing.
- When it is done (it will take a while, there are a lot of packages to download) it will tell you. To use Kubuntu after installation you have to change your session.
Changing sessions
Logout. Click the link Options in the bottom left corner of the login screen.
- Select Session from the menu. A window pops up with radio buttons.
- Select the KDE desktop option for your session. Hit OK.
- It may ask you if you want to set KDE as your default session, that is your choice. You may want to audit this environment before changing it to default, but as is stated, the choice is yours.
Now login as usual, and KDE should start.

After restarting your session as GNOME in place of KDE, you are back to a clean Ubuntu (Gnome) desktop with no KDE programs.
To Remove Ubuntu Desktop
As with Kubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu desktop cannot be deleted by simply removing the meta package. Innstead, you will need to follow the instructions on this|page. I will not bother rewriting the instructions here as the author of this other page did a wonderful job.
Notes
Note this can also be done to switch between any environments (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.) by following the same instructions, but substituting the name of the desktop in the meta package.
Comments on this Page
- emm --> shouldn't the user use 'aptitude remove' and 'aptitude purge' instead of using the lower-level apt-get command?
- It shouldn't make a difference in this case. Plus, it keeps consistency with other how-tos that use apt-get. greg-g
- Could someone who knows his stuff add instructions on how to fully remove gnome? I once did this, and it took more than 2 hours. fhd
- I'm trying to switch from Kubuntu to Ubuntu, immediately after ubgrading to Koala, and the command does not work as given. Several packages abort the command with, e.g., "E: Couldn't find package kdeadmin-kfile-plugins" (as opposed to "Package kde-icons-mono is not installed, so not removed". Also, perhaps you should also have instructions for going to/from Xubuntu? This is my kludged list of the Kubuntu packages which abort the command:

Obviously, I have no idea if there are other packages which should be removed, but are not listed in your command. And another addition: the command given also removed a variety of non-KDE programs, notably (s)mplayer and firefox!
