Gnome/KDE

[LEECH MICHAEL JR]

I've tried to switch the system at boot-up but I still get the Gnome GUI.
   
  This is what the menu looks like:
   
  Ubuntu, kernal 2.6.15-26-386
  Ubuntu, kernal 2.6.15-26-386 (recovery mode)
  Ubuntu, kernal 2.6.15-26-386
  Ubuntu, kernal 2.6.15-26-386 (recovery mode)
  Ubuntu, memtest 86+
   
  If I use the first line I get a Kebuntu start-up screen and a Gnome GUI.
   
  If I use the third line I get a Bunt start-up screen and a Gnome GUI.
   
  I've installed them using the suggestions on the Kubuntu webpage:
   
  kubuntu-desktop
  kde
  kde-core
   
  I used Synaptic
   
  Thanks - Mike

When you say you've installed KDE packages, I suspect you have installed
them in bits? I suggest that you install the kubuntu-desktop package - if
you do that you will be able to choose between Gnome and KDE at the login
screen ( just choose a session )
