[Trisquel-users] Desktops
At the login screen I have a bunch of desktop environment options like Openbox and Ubuntu. How do I go about removing the ones I don't want?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktops
Sounds like you've been experimenting, which is good. Great way to learn new things! Simple = "Add/Remove Applications" Advanced = "Synaptic Package Manager" https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-software-installation-trisquel-different-windows
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktops
I believe removing Desktop Managers is a bit more complex than simply using Synaptic. For example, Ubuntu is listed as an option on the login screen but the DM doesn't show up in Synaptic.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktops
You can use Synaptic to remove them. For the Ubuntu desktop option, uninstall 'Unity' packages. Unity is the name of Ubuntu's desktop. I haven't used Openbox (yet) but I believe you can remove that by uninstalling 'Openbox' packages.

Openbox comes with LXDE (it's what LXDE uses by default) or KDE (it's an alternative to KDE Plasma), and I suppose it might come with some others.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktops
Openbox is a windows manager, not the desktop environment. There are others, but if Openbox works, go with it. Synaptic is the best way to add or remove desktops :)

I removed KDE/Plasma via synaptic but there is still a KDE/Plasma option at the login screen and when I login KDE still loads?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktops
Did you use remove or complete remove? In synaptic you have both options, use the complete one.
