Hi ubuntu people,
I've been using for almost a year now and have grown very fond of it. Though I have no serious complaints about gnome I wanted to give KDE a try. I google searched KDE on ubuntu which lead me to an article (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde). Everything went smoothly and I had the KDE option working perfectly.
Somehow though I felt that, though I think KDE looks better, it didn't offer that much new and I decided to remove it. Again I did a google search and found:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnomemaverick
I pasted the commandlist into my terminal and it started doing stuff. By the end it asked me if it could remove some unnecessary packages. I said yes cause I wanted to keep my system clean.
After it was all done I rebooted.
After the reboot everything looked normal again. But just before the login screen was supposed to appear my computer froze. After the final plymouth screen it just stops doing anything and the computer starts buzzing and heating up.
Now I can't switch between TTYs so I can't go into terminal mode (I can through recovery option in GRUB). I have a live CD but I have no idea what I could do to fix this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bram
