Hi
does anybody have a solution for passing from kubuntu to ubuntu, i ve tried apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, but this doesnī t work, could it be due to the fact that i m on the latest edgy release, and does anybody know wich desktop xgl runs the best on?
it works to some extent on my kubuntu edgy eft, but non of the water fx work,qnd i donīt have any of the outer window bars, so canīt reduce window, or close it.
Thanks

If you did the install of gnome, then it's there - it should be on the "menu" drop down at the login dialogue stage.
thanks man, that sorted the thing out, i ve got a nice xgl running, pity that the window boxes donīt appear, but i ve installed the gnome version, and that works fine, except the rain fx, crashes the x server, but anyhow, enough to make my windowsian friends gutted
