Separate Gnome from KDE applications

[zero-n]

If you are using Gnome as a default Desktop environment or you are using KDE, when you install Kubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop packages all application Gnome & KDE are merged together if you don't like it that way you can use this program:

Gnome Menu Extended (http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Gnome-Menu-Extended-Download-34178.html)

it works on Gnome & KDE

Sorry i have missed something the above application will work only on Gnome & not KDE.

But there is no problem for KDE you can use K Menu Gnome.

thank you zero-n!
i downloaded K Menu Gnome and the menus look nice and tidy
but i wonder if there is any fix for the system confusion between kubuntu/ubuntu when it starts up?...because it took longer time and its really annoying
am using karmic btw and my default desktop is gnome

[zero-n]

try this :

1- Download Startup-Manager.


sudo apt-get install startupmanager

2- Open startup-manager : System >> Administrations >> StartUp-Manager

3- In StartUp-Manager go to Appearance tab.

4- In the bottom you will find Usplash Theme drop down menu , change it to usplash-theme-ubuntu

5- We are done & the startup Usplash logo should change to Ubuntu logo instead of Kubuntu logo.


StartUp-Manager is a very helpful tool try to look at other options.
I hope this will work for you

hey
@zero-n thanks
i installed startup manager but nothing changed i guess i wasn't clear when i described my problem
so here it is....
when i start up my laptop i got a screen showing that kubuntu is loading and when this one finish i got another screen showing that ubuntu is loading too(those are the splash screens right?) then i got the screen at which i got to choose which user want to log-in and the desktop to use..
any ideas?

[zero-n]

In karmic koala they replace Usplash with Xsplash so my above answer won't work for you.

till now i can't help but i will still googling until i find a soultion



if you have a problem try to post it in new post ;)

because of the title so anyone can use our solution if we find it.

You just uninstall kubuntu-artwork-usplash package (or reinstall the ubuntu one if you don't want to uninstall this one). That will replace the splash screens.
