I installed Ubuntu Studio 14.04_64 bit; I prefer KDE, so also installed the kde-full meta package after reloading the repository data in Synaptic.
However, now that I've installed it, how do I get X to come up in KDE instead of in Ubuntu's default desktop environment? In other distros
I've used in the past, there was a drop-down list on the login screen allowing me to select the DE, but not here.
There's no option to choose KDE in Settings-->Session and Startup, but I have Launch KDE services on startup checked
in Session's Advanced tab.
I also noticed that there's now a new icon in the Settings Manager for KDE System Settings, but nothing happens when
I click it (except the icon is selected.)
Any help much appreciated. (I have a metered internet connection, so downloading Kubuntu and then adding the Studio apps would be prohibitively
expensive and not a reasonable option.)
