Hello,
I'm having a problem with the Xubuntu desktop - I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 using Gnome, and all is working nicely. I thought I'd try out Xubuntu, so I did this:
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
rebooted, selected xfce as my session and all nice. I think I prefer xfce as it seems cleaner. However, the problem started when I got curious about compiz. I installed it and all my window borders disappeared. I've since uninstalled it and I've got my window borders back, and I can still go into Gnome ok, but if I try and select xfce as the session it just goes to a blue screen after the login page and doesn't do anything.
So I think that compiz has left some configuration that doesn't work somewhere, so what I want to do is completely remove compiz/xfce/xubuntu including all configuration (whilst keeping gnome) then reinstall it all as I know it works. How can I do that?
Thanks
Dave
P.S. Much as I'd like to see what compiz looks like, I'm happy to do without it if it kills my setup like that!
