ununtu to xubuntu

[vze57gc8]

i down graded from ubuntu to xubuntu. b4 the system loads, the OS is listed as ubuntu. while loading it loads as ubuntu. the login page is displayed as xubuntu but once i log in the desktop and everything look the same as ubuntu. is that the way it's supposed to be or do i have to do something to get rid of ubuntu

There is no way to downgrade as you've described it. You may have installed xubuntu-desktop, but in order to use it, you have to choose it from options at the login screen. You can also choose xubuntu to be default, and after making sure everything works, remove ubuntu by uninstalling ubuntu-desktop.
Hope that makes sense, but if not, do not hesitate to ask for more info.

ok so i installed the xubuntu-desktop. i dont get a xubuntu opion upon login though

[celticbhoy]

you have to select xubuntu from the sessions option on the login screen

In the lower left corner there should be a options menu click on it or you can open the option menu by pressing F10.

Now choose select session. Choose xubuntu (it may be listed as xfce) from there.

You can use these instructions to get rid of Gnome (aka Ubuntu) if you want: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce

Probably not. Ndisrapper is not related to Gnome or its programs.
