Hello all, I just installed Ubuntu 6.06 from Suse 10.1. I'd figure I'd see whats up with it. but my problem is when I installed it it never gave me an option as to which kind of desktop to use. So right now Im stuck in gnome and I don't want to use I'd rater use the KDE but where do I go to make the switch? I went to options menu when you login and I tried a few other things. Thanks in advance
now, there no option to run kde or gnome. I see kde apps but I dont see my home folder or ther desktop or anything? I also want to use kate for editing...is there anything else I'm missing?
At the login screen, go to the bottom left hand corner options and under session select KDE vs Gnome. It will ask you whether you want to run KDE as the default at login (you can change back and forth at the options for login).
