En un artículo anterior publique como instalar varios entornos de escritorio como Kubuntu y Xubuntu teniendo ya instalado Ubuntu, con el objetivo de que conocieran otras interfaces que les pueda gustar y ser mucho más cómodo a la hora de trabajar o navegar por la Internet. En el caso no te haya gustado ninguna de las interfaces y desees volver solo con Ubuntu, la desinstalación no es una simple linea de comandos, sino una larga linea.
Se recomienda hacer un Backcup de la información que tengas, no me responsabilizo de la pérdida de información.
