I guess I should have checked this before removing for real as it blew away my desktop, boot kernel, etc. Time now to re-install packages. :icon_frown:

Whatever you do, dont restart your computer or anything untill you have them all reinstalled, or you will come up to a terminal only and no desktop.

Try to install packages that have a LOT of dependencies like ubuntu-desktop first, they will install everything else then you can pick off the stragglers.

good luck, sorry for your loss.

install xserver-xorg before you intsall ubuntu-desktop or you will have problems.

Yes, thanks, I kept my head and did as you said. Thankfully I've achieved a full reboot cycle :)
