Re: [LUG] Reinstalling Ubuntu

[Richard Brown <rich@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Thanks for the help.

What I did was to run this command:

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

I then did an update and when I rebooted all I got was two options at the boot screen was Kubuntu and Ubuntu. When I click on Ubuntu it goes to a black screen and then after a minute returns to the login screen. If I select Kubuntu it logs in fine.

I tried running:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

and then:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

It simply says it is already loaded.

Thanks

Rich

We're going to need a bit more info than that, particularly regarding
your disk/partitioning setup. Did you literally install the entire
kubuntu distro over the top of an ubuntu system? Presumably not, so does
your system have a single disk partitioned with both distros on, or two
disks, or something else?

Cheers
