Installing & Removing Desktops in Ubuntu
Have you always wanted to try out that xubuntu-desktop your nerdy friends talk about, are you tired of kubuntu, or would you like to save resources using lubuntu?
In this video I will show you how to install another Desktop-environment on your Ubuntu-pc and how to uninstall them, if you don’t want them any more.
## info
install a new desktop-environment:
sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktop
or
sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop
(just type the desktop you want, eg. lubuntu-desktop, edubuntu-desktop,mythbuntu-desktop,…)
remove a desktop-environment:
sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-dektop
sudo apt-get autoremove
you can replace xubuntu by the DE you want to remove (eg. kubuntu, lubuntu, edubuntu…)

How would you remove the unity desktop environment?
WARNING!!!!! Please don't ever try this! I wanted to remove it but I had to reinstall the entire OS and start over!
Hi, I have installed Kubuntu desktop along with Gnome desktop on latest version of 13.04 , just to learn how to install additional desktop. Now I want to remove Kubuntu desktop, so what could be the better way to do that ? "sudo apt-get remove kde-desktop" will work please suggest me ..
Well it doesn't usually…I modified my desktop to look like OS X…As soon as I'll find some time I'll upload a video of the current version. (had soooo much to do lately :-/ )
why does ubuntu look this much like OSX?
i have a problem i have ubuntu server i installed ubuntu desktop but i didnt like it ti slow down the server, i removed ubuntu desktop but i get Checking battery state
The really weird thing is that here on Ubuntu 11.10 I had installed XFCE by doing
sudo apt-get install xfce4 (I think)
I don't know what but it's not in Software Center and when I do the apt-get remove command it doesn't find it. It still is in my login menu and works fine still. Am I stuck with XFCE?
nice thx mate
