I installed Kubuntu 12.04 and just couldn't get used to it and went on and downloaded and installed unity using:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.
How can I get rid KDE? Do I even need to? That's all I really need to know...
Thanks

Thanks oldos! When running that command should I skip
&& sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
at the end because I already have it?
Thanks again

Ran the code from the link and got this error:
Did some searching, but can't find if anyone has actually solved this yet.Code:Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package kubuntu-desktop is not installed, so not removed Some packages could not be installed.

ran into this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2002928&page=2
It says that Kubuntu desktop is not installed, that can't be though. When I reboot, it's the KDE login, I can also choose KDE to log in to and it works just fine....
Any ideas?
Thanks for all your help so far

kubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage; if APT says it's not installed, I'd believe it.
What doessay?Code:ls /usr/share/xsessions/
This is what I get back:
I ran the wall of text again and got a different error. I now am getting this now after a reboot:Code:geeve@geeve-dell:~$ ls /usr/share/xsessions/ gnome-classic.desktop gnome-shell.desktop ubuntu.desktop gnome.desktop kde-plasma.desktop gnome-fallback.desktop ubuntu-2d.desktop geeve@geeve-dell:~$

The java errors don't have anything to do with KDE. Maybe if you try removing libatk-wrapper-java, assuming you don't need it, it would fix the error, but I'm not certain of that.
Trywhich should remove the KDE option from lightdm, then reboot. If it works the way you want you can then delete the kde-plasma.desktop file.Code:sudo mv /usr/share/xsessions/kde-plasma.desktop /home/geeve/
I ran the command, rebooted and still have KDE splash and log in. I can also log in to KDE with no issue
I don't know if the java wrapper is part of play on Linux for steam or not so I am I hesitant to remove it. I did make a Redo Backup last night before I started fiddling with this just in case though.
I copy and pasted the wall of command into LO writer and did a ctrl-f to look for that java wrapper. It is not part of what's is listed in that command so I don't know why it would stop the removal?!
I may be way off base here, but is there a way to remove the held packages that it is freaking out about in the last line of the error? Maybe force it to ignore them? (I am still quite a newb, so I may just be talking out of my rear now)
I really appreciate your time on this! If we can't get it, I will live with having them both here and only use Ubuntu, I have just read that having them both could cause conflicts and instability. I am trying to not do a fresh install because the 5GB download of Skyrim on Steam takes literally days
Thanks again

Are you using lightdm, or kdm?
