I use Ubuntu but have the Kubuntu login screen??

[Diss]

I must have changed something in error - but how can i get back to the Ubuntu boot and login screens? - I miss all that gentle brown colour

Thanks

You can change this via the settings page. i don't have Ubuntu to hand but there is definitely a login page which you can alter.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

there you go

Hi, dont know if the following are any use to you:

This is the same advice that kiwi has just given above

You may also be able to change it from System; Administration; Login Screen

p.s. downloading Kubuntu myself as we speak, might be nice using a Linux box for play rather than work

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

there you go

couldn't find anything in settings so tried this which worked - thanks

sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup

just to back up

sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

Look for Kubuntu and simply delete the K.

DONT do it yet, I will boot into Ubuntu and check my instructions, just to be sure.

EDIT: Ok, just checked and I was right. I have posted a screenshot with the highlighted text to edit. Apply the edit to the rest of the menu entries.

Thanks Scythe - but menu.lst already has Ubuntu
i think i somehow changed it through Synaptic (maybe uninstalled something?) but i dunno what it might be called to try a reinstall


Cheers
