failed update Kubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 - now system uses GNOME instead of KDE

[Izzmael]

Hello there

I tried to update Kubuntu 10.10 to 11.04 yesterday and the update seemed to finish correctly.

After rebooting my system it uses GNOME now instead of KDE. :o

There are also some minor problems with different applications including the "Appearance Preferences" but i think it all goes back to the Desktop-Change mentioned above.

Is there a way to change back to KDE without reinstalling Kubuntu??

Check whether you have kubuntu-desktop installed.

sry, started using linux last year

seems to be installed:

Synaptics lists "KDE-Displaymanager for X11" as installed,
also some other KDEbase Packets including "Kubuntu-Desktop"

Logout, and choose KDE from the list at the bottom of the screen when you select your user account.

However, it's extremely strange that the upgrade donwloaded ubuntu-desktop for you. You're effectively having a GB or more of applications and libraries you don't need. Check out this list, but be careful, the packages are not the same. Don't copy and paste this, use it as a reference point.
