View Full Version : [SOLVED] Getting rid of KDE cursors and KDE splash screen?

Some time ago I installed KDE on my machine, though I use gnome as the default. (I rarely login on KDE).
Since then, when I login in my default gnome I get those futuristic KDE cursors, which I hate by the way. I've been trying to go back to my default cursors but I've had no success. I go to System -> Appearance -> Customize -> Pointer and then I select Default Pointer or even DMZ (white)
I click on close twice and nothing happens.
I've even removed the "oxygen-cursor-theme" using the package manager.
How can I get my default mouse cursors back?

On the same note, before I get the login screen and after clicking on logout/restart I get a Kubuntu blue (splash?) screen, I'd prefer not to get this screen. Any idea on how to get rid of this, too? (Getting rid of the cursors would be most important, but if I can get rid of this screen it'd be nice, too)

any help will be really appreciated.

The same problem with mine. Cursor can't be changed. Have tried to install usplash, but it said many libraries will be removed, so I gave up that way. Any workaround?

is it
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm?

I ended up uninstalling the whole KDE and re-installing the few programs that I actually used.
I didn't get to try what utnubuuser suggested :|
