how to uninstall LXDE

[oziwombat]

Hi Guy's , I stuffed up again & installed LXDE .Lightweight Desktop Envrio & now nothing seems to work IE Floppy ,slave H/Drive ,Internet .:confused::confused:
How do I uninstall this & get back to my normal 9.04 Ubuuntu ?
Do I go into Syn package Mgr & uncheck all LXDE & reboot ?
Cheers Ozi

yes. or sudo apt-get remove

Have you installed LXDE on top of Ubuntu/Gnome? If that's the case, just select Gnome under Options at the login screen.

Well, yes, it worked for me--except for a few things. Under "Accessories," I still have "LXTerminal;" under "Other" (which I didn't even have before), I have Openbox Session; under "System Tools," I still have "XScreensaver Setup;" and under "System Setting" => "Appearance," I still have two clickables for "Screensaver." Can these be removed through Synaptic Package Manager? If not, how else, or is there a more suggested way?

Try
sudo apt-get autoremove

Hi,
I two have xfce programs still left in my ubuntu desktop even though I've uninstalled Lubuntu/XFCE. Clicker4721, did you ever find an easy way to uninstall the left over programs?

I installed gdm and gnome. Then I removed lxde and open box
# aptitude remove lxde openbox
Now openbox tries to start then aborts and shuts down X which immediately restarts and then tries to start openbox all over again.
How do I set gdm as defalt?
Will this work?

# aptitude purge gdm gnome
# aptitude purge openbox lxde
# aptitude install gdm gnome
# dpkg --configure X
