| r00tintheb0x | I've been experimenting with different desktop enviroments on a Gnome Ubuntu install, I've settled on LUbuntu. Is there a way to remove the others without borquing the install? | 03:46 |
|---|---|---|
| nannes | r00tintheb0x: I think it would be much better to directly reinstall Lubuntu, now that you've settled with lxde | 03:47 |
| r00tintheb0x | Okay nannes , I thought the same. I've got like, six desktop enviroments on it. Hehe. | 03:47 |
| r00tintheb0x | Thanks nannes . :) | 03:47 |
| nannes | The reason is: experimenting means installing many things, creating many config files etc. | 03:47 |
| nannes | it messes things up too much | 03:48 |
| nannes | Yeah, I'm happy you think the same :) | 03:48 |
| r00tintheb0x | nannes, not lookin forward to reinstalling wine, etc... for the 23905973th thousand time. | 03:48 |
| nannes | uhh | 03:48 |
| nannes | well, there's an anthidot for that | 03:48 |
| r00tintheb0x | :) Yeah, I've noticed that it isn't quite rite when you rip it down and build it up. | 03:48 |
| nannes | you can take the config files for all the most important programs | 03:48 |
| r00tintheb0x | On nannes ? | 03:49 |
| r00tintheb0x | Oh man, I can reinstall it.. doesn't take that long. I seemed to have lost 4 USB drives anyway.. I'm down to 1 1G. | 03:49 |
| nannes | I mean, pidgin for example. thunderbird. firefox | 03:50 |
| nannes | I mean, the most boring-to-config programs have specific locations where to save configs | 03:50 |
| r00tintheb0x | I use chrome and it syncs. I know what you mean though. | 03:50 |
| nannes | ok :)) | 03:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | Ty though, :) | 03:51 |
| nannes | yw... happy that mor eand more people is appreciating lubuntu as much as me | 03:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | It's amazing how much quicker lubuntu is than the other alt's. | 03:51 |
| nannes | s/is/are | 03:51 |
| nannes | yeah :D XD | 03:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | Right. | 03:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | :) | 03:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | I started on Slackware 7. | 03:51 |
| r00tintheb0x | Linux Desktop's have come a long way. | 03:51 |
| nannes | y, and there's much more to come I hope :)) | 03:52 |
| r00tintheb0x | Most definitely, I may get into developing soon. | 03:52 |
| r00tintheb0x | I've been a UNIX Sysadmin for about 10 years. | 03:53 |
| r00tintheb0x | Time to flip to development. | 03:53 |
| ianorlin | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purelubuntu | 03:53 |
| nannes | great! Yeah, Good luck with it! :D | 03:53 |
| * r00tintheb0x looks @ ianorlin 's link. | 03:53 | |
| ianorlin | is how to switch back to only lubuntu | 03:53 |
| r00tintheb0x | Exxxxcellent... let me check that out before I nuke. | 03:54 |
| ianorlin | although after you paste if you want to keep a package you can use backspace to not remove it | 03:54 |
| r00tintheb0x | Okay ianorlin , I think i'll get it to default then build back up. | 03:55 |
| r00tintheb0x | ianorlin, I have gnome, mate, xfce, xubuntu and cinnamon installed though. | 03:56 |
| r00tintheb0x | brb, I'm just going to nuke it. thanks gents. | 03:57 |
| r00tintheb0x | Schweet, nice and clean now. | 04:24 |
| r00tintheb0x | NOW, to quit distro/desktop hopping. I've had a bad habbit about that, I get bored quickly. | 04:25 |
