I don't know. Actually, I usually point people to my "uninstall kubuntu" thread because most Ubuntu users are using Gnome and want to try KDE, not vice versa.Quote:

I *did* read the whole thread and I *was* aware that the command I ran was not part of the howto. And I know I should have been more careful. I'm just telling you how it went so that anyone else reading knows and won't do the same.
Cool.
This also resoled the issue described here. It happened to me.

It didn't work for me. I copy-pasted the command and apt-get wanted to remove a lot of my KDE packages too!! Any idea why? By the way, I installed Ubuntu 5.10 first and later installed the kubuntu-desktop package. I don't know if this has anything to do with it.

I did it on a fresh Kubuntu install--totally fresh. I hadn't installed anything else on top of it.
So, yes, I think that may have something to do with it.Quote:

What I would do is look at all the stuff it's planning to remove, copy and paste that to a Kate document and then delete from that document all the stuff you want to keep. Then paste it back in after the commandOr... just go ahead and remove it all--the configuration files will still be there, as will the .debs. After that, doCode:sudo apt-get remove
and everything you need to have come back will be reinstalled.Code:sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Thanks for your answer aysiu. I just did it as N8K99. I opened synaptic and removed anything that was gnome related. Well, almost everything, 'cause there were some programs I wanted to keep. Thanks anyway. Good HOWTO.
have you got a uptodate version of this how to?
thanks markp1989
