David Batson Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 AFAIK you install task-gnome. You can do this from Install & remove software (Software Installer in MCC). After rebooting, change your desktop environment to Gnome from one of the icons on the login screen. You should still have KDE (or other DE) there if you want to go back.

ianw1974 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Later if you prefer, you can switch display manager from kdm to gdm if you are using Gnome. If you are with KDE, then stick with kdm as the display manager/login manager. Anyway, both will work with KDE/Gnome, the only problems sometimes are certain options are not available like Shutdown if you use kdm and login to Gnome. At least, it always was when I last tried it many years ago. I've been Gnome since 2007, so I've always had gdm since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
