I installed "Kubuntu Plasma Desktop/Netbook system" from the ubuntu software system to try it out. I prefer Unity and want to remove Kubuntu.
I uninstalled from the Ubuntu software center, but it hasn't worked. During boot I get "Kubuntu" on the screen and not "Ubuntu", also I can log in into Kubuntu and it is working fine.
So how can I remove Kubuntu and all files that came with it?
When trying sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop
I get this message:
Package 'kubuntu-desktop' is not installed, so not removed
Here is my terminal output after trying the commands sudo apt-get install aptitude
and
sudo aptitude remove '?and(?depends(?exact-name(kubuntu-desktop)),?not(?depends(?exact-name(ubuntu-desktop))))'
:
