    How to disable netbook 11.04

    I'm trying to log into the Kubuntu desktop and all it keeps giving me is the netbook, since my screen is the size it is, how do I change the default to the Desktop?

    When you log in, click on your username and you should see some options at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the little arrow next to the middle one (I think it is) you should get the option of what to boot into.

    I've tried all three. The system keeps going to the netbook version. All I have is KDE Plasma (I think) Default and Failsafe.

    It may be a silly question but did you install the desktop version or the netbook remix?

    11.04 installs both. I found it. It's in the system settings.

    Found it:
    System Settings --> Desktop --> Workspace Behavior --> Workspace --> Workspace type: Desktop

    The really should put that on the login screen though, it's kind of hard to find for a beginner.

    Just a side note... pretty sure people could find it anyway...

    As of September 7th, 20011:

    System Settings/Workspace Behavior/Workspace/Workspace type:Netbook

    Personally, the netbook style looks slick and I like the way it functions, not sure I will use it on my main machine though. lol I add the Application Launcher Menu widget though... lost without it.
