In my journey to give GNOME and Ubuntu an honesty try, I found myself installing kubuntu desktop, withsudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktopAfter a few minutes of thinking, I decided I have to honestly give GNOME a shot, and wanted to revert the change. zales . So I went into /var/log/apt/history.log, and grabbed the files that were installed and put them in a file called kde-package. I then ran the following sed against it to remove the (),’s and the stuff inbetween the ()’s.. The sed was: sed 's/ ([0-9A-Za-z.+~-]*),//g' kde-package >kde-packagesSo, just thought I’d share the packages that are installed on an ubuntu desktop, when you runsudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktopWell, here you arekcm-touchpad libclucene0ldbl ksystemlog plasma-dataengines-workspace krdc krfb kdebase-plasma kppp openoffice.org-style-oxygen kubuntu-debug-installer userconfig kubuntu-default-settings kdepim-runtime libprocessui4 libqca2 libtaskmanager4 libqimageblitz4 kdebase-workspace knm-runtime polkit-kde-1 libqt4-assistant libpackagekit-glib2-12 pinentry-gtk2 libkscreensaver5 libsolidcontrolifaces4 libxine1-x libk3b6 plasma-widget-quickaccess kpackagekit foomatic-db-gutenprint librdf0 plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo freespacenotifier printer-applet libkwineffects1 ksnapshot ijsgutenprint libkipi7 ttf-dejavu-extra libotr2 kdepim-groupware openoffice.org-kde oxygen-icon-theme libboost-program-options1.40.0 libqt4-test kdebase-runtime libkleo4 libqt4-sql-mysql libqt4-dbus quassel-data plasma-widgets-workspace konqueror-nsplugins libxine1-misc-plugins kdebase-data gwenview kdelibs5 libxcb-xv0 phonon okular-extra-backends mysql-client-core-5.1 quassel libqt4-qt3support kcalc plasma-dataengines-addons shared-desktop-ontologies libvncserver0 klipper amarok-common libmimelib4 kdemultimedia-kio-plugins libflac++6 kontact mysql-common ibus-qt4 ksysguard libkexiv2-8 libplasma-geolocation-interface4 libxine1-bin libexiv2-6 libkcddb4 librasqal2 kopete-message-indicator apturl-kde plasma-widget-kimpanel-backend-ibus kubuntu-desktop dolphin kdesudo kbluetooth k3b-data libpackagekit-qt-12 kde-zeroconf kubuntu-konqueror-shortcuts plasma-widget-googlecalendar konsole libakonadiprivate1 libqt4-xmlpatterns korganizer k3b libsoprano4 mysql-server-core-5.1 install-package libpolkit-qt-1-0 akregator libqtscript4-core libkonqsidebarplugin4 libqt4-help libksgrd4 python-qt4 kamera ark libkpgp4 libqt4-webkit kdebase-workspace-bin libibus-qt1 kvkbd python-sip libkworkspace4 libkonq5 kdelibs5-data libkdepim4 libkdecorations4 libdbusmenu-qt2 python-qt4-dbus konqueror-plugin-searchbar libksieve4 libplasmagenericshell4 kfind plasma-widget-kubuntu-feedback kdebase-bin plasma-widget-facebook systemsettings libkfontinst4 libxcb-shape0 usb-creator-kde kdm icoutils amarok gnupg-agent libqtscript4-gui libqt4-sql-sqlite libqtscript4-uitools libao2 kubuntu-docs knotes libqt4-sql plasma-widget-message-indicator libkopete4 plasma-widget-kimpanel libqt4-svg libindicate-qt0 kubuntu-firefox-installer python-packagekit konqueror libpoppler-qt4-3 libstreamanalyzer0 libphonon4 kaddressbook libqt4-xml libzip1 cdrdao packagekit libkephal4 plasma-widgets-addons gdebi-kde libplasma3 kdebase-workspace-data libqtscript4-sql ttf-dejavu software-properties-kde phonon-backend-xine ksysguardd libqt4-designer libplasmaclock4 kdepimlibs5 libweather-ion4 libmysqlclient16 kdebase-workspace-kgreet-plugins kdelibs-bin language-selector-qt libsolidcontrol4 libqtscript4-xml libattica0 khelpcenter4 libkonq5-templates plasma-desktop kdegraphics-strigi-plugins jockey-kde akonadi-server update-manager-kde libksignalplotter4 libstreams0 kwalletmanager libraptor1 libqca2-plugin-ossl libepub0 packagekit-backend-apt exiv2 ktimetracker kdepim-strigi-plugins kopete plasma-widget-folderview libokularcore1 libtag-extras1 kate kmail liblastfm0 libqt4-script plasma-scriptengine-javascript libplasma-applet-system-monitor4 kubuntu-notification-helper libqt4-scripttools libssh-4 virtuoso-nepomuk libxcb-shm0 plasma-scriptengine-python soprano-daemon amarok-utils libprocesscore4 kdebase-runtime-data kde-window-manager apport-kde libiodbc2 system-config-printer-kde dragonplayer kdepimlibs-data libqtscript4-network okular kmousetool pinentry-qt4 libmsn0.2 hpijs-ppds kmag libkdcraw8 kdepim-kresources kdepim-wizards network-manager-kde python-kde4 gtk2-engines-qtcurve oxygen-icon-theme-complete kdepasswd libxine1-console oxygen-cursor-theme kmix kcm-gtk libxine1So if you want to remove kubuntu-desktop you can do: sudo apt-get purge (the stuff above)of you can dosudo apt-get purge `cat kde-packages` (this is assuming you copy the above into a file named kde-packages and you’re running the apt-get from the same directory that file lives in. moving storage .

Thanks for that I will bookmark it for future reference. I am currently running Kubuntu 10.04 beta 2 on my desktop and I am very impressed with the stability. I have been a Sidux user for a while (and still use it on a second machine). I put Kubuntu on my notebook and found it very frustrating to switch from ethernet to wireless to 3g dongle, it worked but only with a lot of manual mucking about. I installed Gnome Ubuntu and it is all just plug and click. The KDE network manager is still a dud – at least the Ubuntu version. You can run the Gnome version from KDE, so I might try again on the notebook after 10.04 is released.
I do not know why you want to try Gnome now, in six months it will all be Gnome 3 and everything will be different.
I don’t know why you want to try GNOME now … In a few month KDE 4.5 will be here and everything will be better 😉

Yeah.. I know it’s coming soon. But I like writing and blogging, and figured I’d give Ubuntu (in its natural state with GNOME) an honest try on a production daily used machine.
I myself prefer openSUSE / Arch Linux, but so far my experience with Ubuntu & GNOME hasn’t been horrid.
One thing I do notice is QT is a shit ton prettier then GTK+ haha

Great post, I will definitely keep this in mind next time I need to perform a full restore of my Kubuntu system. This is especially useful in computer repairs when you are lacking time I also noticed.
