[SOLVED] KDE messed up. Installing possible from Live CD?

[ElWray]

I let a friend play around on my pc for a while and somehow we managed to wipe out kde while trying to "upgrade" to some obscure edition of Kubuntu.
Now I'm using the live cd. Is there any way I can reinstall KDE from here without having to reinstall the whole OS?

Thanks,
ElWray

If is only KDE that got trashed, you should be able to reinstall it.

Ctrl-Alt-F1 to the CLI, and log in there.

sudo service kdm stop

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop

sudo service kdm start

and you should get the login greeter.
