    apt-get install kubuntu-desktop / Reboot still no desktop

    Hey Guys,

    So after (sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop) and 10 min later, I reboot and still, I don't get the KDE desktop..

    Running a i7 64 bit 300GB HD 8GB ram T430 thinkpad.

    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Try installing/reinstalling kde-workspace.

      Thanks for the reply Snow..

      $ sudo apt-get install kde-workspace

      Reading package lists... Done
      Building dependency tree

      kde-workspace is already the newest version.

      I'm scratching my head...
      Any thoughts?

      My next step is to uninstall ubuntu's desktop. I prefer doing this after my kDE is up..

        So, you just end up at a console login? If 'yes', have you tried just typing startx ?

          I figured it out.. initially when I installed the OS and created a password, I disabled the ask for password at login. This prevented me from switching my desktop environment.
          I guess now I can delete ubuntu's desktop.

          Thanks Snow..
