A few newbie questions

[Dibjibjub]

Hi, I am still new to ubuntu, and I have a few questions concerning the Desktop environment.

1. I tried to install the KDE desktop environment after I read I could switch between Gnome and KDE on the boot screen, or log in screen, but it opens with the Kubuntu log in screen, but when I log in I am in the Gnome Desktop enviroment. How do I pick one or the other and change the log in back to Ubuntu?

2. How do I install a system sound theme in Gnome?

Thank you in advance

Hey :)
At the log in screen, have a look at the bottom of it. There should be a little menu, ''session'' that will let to chose either gnome or kde (or any extra DE you have)

As for the sounds. I remember that the last time I wanted to do this, I downloaded a sound theme but had to replace each sound one by one...however this may have changed of course.

So, it may just be a matter of drag and drop? Any idea where I could find the files I would need to replace, or will I have to dive in to the file system and hope for the best? Lol.

go to sound preferences..surely you can choosee now sounds from it.

Okay, Found the DE selecter.

With the sound system, despite that I logged in as Gnome, the system settings are in the KDE. So I really need to uninstall it....
