I am a novice Linux user, and I sometimes get in over my head when installing new packages. I am running Karmic, but I accidentally installed a package which turned my kde environment into gnome. What do I need to install/remove to get it back to kde?

Re: Trying to remove gnome desktop from kubuntu
If you installed the ubuntu-desktop package on a kubuntu installation, you can easily undo this with "sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop". You may need to follow up with a "sudo apt-get autoremove".
If, however, you started with an ubuntu installation, then installed the kubuntu-desktop package, and now want to remove ubuntu, it's much harder since removing the ubuntu-desktop package will not cascade to all the dependencies like it does if you install it manually. The only solution I've found is to find a list of all the packages that are part of ubuntu-desktop and remove them (Google is a good place to start. I'd post the list here, but it changes with each release).Comment
