Ubuntu :: After Installing And Uninstalling Kubuntu-desktop - Lost Kget
Sep 1, 2010
under gnome (OS: ubuntu lucid 10.04) i installed KGet and it was working fine with no problems or ( extra PKGs installation ) ... then i wanted to try KDE desktop so i installed kubuntu-desktop , after that gnome windows and message alerts have been transformed to KDE form even if i was logged with gnome ...
I uninstalled kubuntu-desktop using instructions provided here : [url] but then i lost kget .... now when i try to install it again , synaptic iforms me that i have to install a lot of extra packages as well .. what is the shortest way to install and run KDE program on my gnome desktop properly .. ?

I have a dual boot Vista/ Kubuntu and my vista SP2 has made both my vista and kubuntu unable to boot completely. I've been through many steps to recover vista but no restore point works and such so I am going to use my Toshiba recovery partition to reinstall but what I'm wondering is if after I do that will the grub loader be affected and give me the error 22? The two are on separate partitions and I've been meaning to get rid of Kubuntu from my laptop since I have it on my pc

I installed mysql on Ubuntu linux with the command apt-get install mysql-server. How do i competely uninstall it?
Is there a way when i install the server to configure the server options (e.g. where the data directory is). I know how to change this once installed but i was wondering if there was a way to do it during the installation for ease. All i remember from the installation procedure is that you can set the root password.

On my other Linux installation, every time I try installing KDE Trinity, I can't remove KDE 3.5 without making it impossible to start KDE. Can anyone give me some tips on how to safely uninstall KDE 3.5 after Trinity is installed? I uninstalled 3.5 by uninstalling all the components one-by-one in Synaptic.

I've installed up a copy of Kubuntu 9.10. I want to use it to play eve online and replace my copy of windows. So far I have managed to get it installed, got the video drivers and wine sorted, and got eve online to work with wine. I'm quite happy with myself up until odd things started to happen. Basically, I want to recompile my Nvidia driver to a newer version, I know how to do this, I need to press ctrl alt F1 to drop to terminal, kill kde and then install the driver, i've done it before without issue. However this time around something is wrong. I press ctrl alt F1 and the black terminal window pops up... but I have no option to log in, same for terminals 2 - 6.
I did this, and sure enough none of my tty processes are showing, i've basically lost my terminals , as far as my limited experience goes, getty is responsible for the terminals right? How do I reinstate my terminals and get to a point I can kill kde and get back to shell? I have no idea what i've done to get in this state. Also, as a side question, before all got screwed up and i did manage to launch eve online, I could run one client perfectly. However with 2 clients things got all choppy and laggy? why is this? I can run 2 quite happily under windows 7

I had Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4.0 interface and i decided to try out fedora to see if i liked it and wanted to eventually switch. i've done so many dual boot systems with Kubuntu and not had any problems that i decided not to back up my system this time before running the installation. after running the installation and shrinking my hard drive (200 gb) by 80 gigs, i rebooted to find that Kubuntu was no longer bootable. the first time i booted into fedora, disk utility popped up with a message that said "1 or more hard drives is failing". i ran the test that it recommended and found no problems. then i ran the longer test and still found no problems. i've rebooted a few times and have not been able to see Kubuntu in the boot loader options. if you need any more information i will be happy to provide it. my question, obviously, is how can i retrieve my Kubuntu partition. it is still there but is not bootable.

I installed openSuse 11.2 64bit (DVD version). Later I installed the graphic card driver. Then I noticed that it's not working well due to an improper installation (didn't use the manual that you provided here). So I uninstalled the driver. Then, after reboot, instead of a regular desktop, I get a CLI and I'm requested to enter my login information. But in the boot menu, if I enter to the failsafe option, then everything works fine. How can I change the CLI to the regular desktop?

Not a major issue but my Ubuntu boot screen change to the old classic Orange theme after i installed Kubuntu on a different drive and ofcourse a new Grub loader as the Kubuntu installation prompted. It can't be because of the Kubuntu installation but i can't find any other reason for that to happen.

I installed VMware server on my CentOS 5 machine. I had problems getting that working. Then I installed VMware Workstation. That worked fine. Then I tried using VMware server, but apparently VMware Workstation deleted some of VMware Servers files. So, I uninstalled VMware Workstation. Then I tried to reinstall VMware Server, but rpm complains package VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.x86_64 is already installed

currently using a CompaQ Altec Lansing laptop,which came with Windows 7 Pre-installed. It is the 64 bit version. The same day I got it I got Ubuntu on it as well, also in 64 bit.
I have had no problems with either of them. What I would like to do, is install Kubuntu 10.04 64 bit along side Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Is it possible? Or would i be stuck having to make a Wubi?

I was running kubuntu 7.10 from 2007 till two days back. Thought it quite old, so wanted to upgrade from 7.10 to 9.10, and if I like the latest kde 4 (since I've not used it yet), the plan was to use the lucid lynx. The two phase upgrade from 7.10 -> 8.04 -> 9.10 went seamlessly without any hitch.
But now the problem started to occur, and I will point them one by one:
1. While booting, the startup splash screen falls into a console which read "checking battery state ... DONE" and it stays there forever. So, I opened another terminal by ctrl-alt-F1, gave my login id, password, type startx to go into the graphical mode.
I checked the /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc file and made the Code:
I Also tried the other suggestions like restarting the kdm and dpkg-reconfigure. But the problem still exist.
Now I see, that the console is not stucking at check battery state message , rather its going to the tty1 and asking for the login/password.
Code:
Code:
Code:
Code:
My xorg.conf display section shows:
Code:
Now, I don't have Nvidia graphics card installed, so can I safely remove whatever lists in Synaptic searching with 'Nvidia*' ?
2. I want to stop the notification/system sound for application, e.g. while closing a button in griffith or closing a window in pidgin the system emits a sound, I want to stop all these sounds, how to do that?
3. In kde3, I can search file under the present directory using konqueror, now I see konqueror has a search bar, but that is for web, not in the local file system. I am missing this very helpful feature of konqueror, can I somehow brought it back?
4. This issue is not 9.10 specific but faced in 7.10 .. Whenever I try to play an audio cd the system just freezes. The only in error dmesg is

Is there a way to install KDE without the installation of kubuntu-desktop and the re-branding and changing of settings and themes that come with it? I would like to try KDE again, but don't want to see Kubuntu while I'm booting. Also, it seems that it adds a lot of bloat, being as I need a removal script to reverse the changes it makes.

I tried installing Kubuntu 10.10 yesterday and when I booted into the desktop it wouldn't show anything but blurriness and lines. It was completely unusable. It showed that on the live cd too. I then tried install Elementary OS. It installed and had the same result. This is getting extremely frustrating and I have no idea of what to do.rgot to take a screenshot of either one but I found one on the elementary launchpad bug page. Oh yeah, this happened when I tried to install the alpha of Ubuntu 11.04 too

I'm trying to install kubuntu and it keeps going in to the live os. From there I know it can be installed but its not getting far enough. My guess is do to my vga card. I'd just like to install from outside the kernal like normal, can that be done?

I just installed a fresh install of Kubuntu 10.4. A simple question, how do I change the desktop theme? I used to find it by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting Desktop Settings or what it is called (my system is in Italian), now itsn't there.
