How to completely remove desktop?

So, I thought I managed to remove KDE completely, but apparently that did not work at all, because every KDE application is back, including the KDE splash screen.

I ran

sudo apt-get autoremove --purge kubuntu-desktop

Then I ran

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

Then I ran

sudo sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth

Then I rebooted and everything seemed to be the original ubuntu-desktop (without the kde splash screen and other KDE applications). But now, one week later I still boot to ubuntu-desktop, but like I said, the kde splash screen and applications are all back.

How should I remove kubuntu-desktop?

Probably you have to delete each dependency by hand:

apt-cache depends kubuntu-desktop

These scripts should work for 12.04: www.psychocats.net

  • After issueing apt-get install -f, I got broken packages, because libqtcore4 would not install. Magically, I was able to remove libqtcore4 via synaptic and then reinstall it via apt-get. – Meijuh Sep 22 '12 at 12:40
  • So - does it work now? And do you think it is an issue caused by one of the scripts mentioned in the link above? – Sebastian vom Meer Sep 25 '12 at 16:26
