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

[DCarela]

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..

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..
