Re: Removal of a Desktop Environment



Hey!... I made it.
I selected all packages with name or description containing lxde from synaptic and marked them for complete removal.
Now, the task is done and I got what I wanted.
Thanks :)

I tried "#dpkg-reconfigure gdm3". It did it's task but didn't serve the purpose.
I can see options : LXDE, GNOME, OpenBox, System Default, MATE, Gnome Classic, and one or two others. 
The system default options goes into lxde. 
I just need to be guided to proper steps to remove lxde, related packages as well as the entry of LXDE from gdm3 option.

Apart from in gdm, and Gnome id a law unto itself, whar else is still tehre?

Have you tried # dpkg-reconfigure gdm?

I had trouble with <dpkg-reconfigure *dm> in Jessie, but never in Wheezy, and
there has been time for any bug to be ironed out.  It just might help.

Can you not just ignore it?

Please don't reply to me privately.  I read the list.
