Hi first time post here so let me know if I've missed anything useful out
After installing Ubuntu for the first time the other day, I decided I wasn't really a fan of Unity and installed Gnome. Everything worked fine and I stayed with Gnome for a while.
I then installed KDE to try it out and things didn't go so smoothly. It seemed to change things like scrollbars and other UI items even when logged into a GNOME session.
Therefore I decided to uninstall KDE, however it only removed a few KB vs. the roughly 150MB it took to install.
I then followed this script I found online to completely remove KDE from my system found on this forum post:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/451620/how-to-completely-remove-kubuntu-desktop-from-ubuntu
sudo aptitude remove '?and(?and(?reverse-depends(kubuntu),?not(?reverse-depends(ubuntu-gnome-desktop))), ?not(?or(?priority(required), ?priority(important))))' ubuntu-gnome-desktop+
However, I fear this may have removed far more from my system than I realised as it has changed really weird things like my keyboard layout.
Another issue is that my right click menu is now dark grey as opposed to the white before.
Any ideas about how to get a pure GNOME back on my system?
Moral of the story: don't run a script if I have no idea what it does!!!
