desktop missing

[Guest]

I installed kubuntu 9.1

Since I didn't want a whole new set of users, I re-installed over a previous installation. Not formatting the partitions. Keeping myself as root user of course.

However, my desktop is missing. How do I get the desktop back?

I just have a terminal window. No internet connection.

In the terminal type the following:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Then reboot.

Thank you for your response

This just says kubuntu is already the latest version

I'm afraid you will need to reformat and start again. Make sure you backup your home directory before this step.
