During the install of KDE, Ubuntu did not run inside VMware, but there was the strange display issue too. But it was useful to log back into the Ubuntu desktop instead of KDE. There was an item for hardware drivers somewhere in an entry of the applications menu. So I marked a checkbox to activate a graphics driver in there and booted into KDE. Now the resolution is ok.

The step that restores the Ubuntu splash screen no longer seems to work for me, whereas it did in the past. I’ve recently built a new PC, installed Hardy Heron — first Ubuntu, then Kubuntu — then gone through the steps to revive the Ubuntu splash screen, but the Kubuntu screen is still there. Here’s what I see when I attempt to change it:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There are 2 alternatives which provide `usplash-artwork.so’.

Selection Alternative
———————————————–
* 1 /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so
+ 2 /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-kubuntu.so

Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 1
Using ‘/usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so’ to provide ‘usplash-artwork.so’.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I choose selection 1, but no matter what, the Kubuntu screen comes up when I boot. It’s not a MAJOR issue, just one of those things that gets under my skin. Any ideas?

Funny, I am having the problem described above for KDE in Afterstep. I installed Ubuntu 8.04 in vmware fusion running on Leopard. The installation went beautifully and gnome is workingwith appropriate screen resolution. Afterstep installed fine using apt-get. However, the screen resolution is set to 800×600 and can’t be changed in the afterstep screen-resolution utility. I looked in /etc/X11 and unfortunately there is no saved xorg.conf1.

Any suggestions on what to do at this point to get the appropriate screen resolution (1440×900) in afterstep would be most appreciated!!

Best,
Marc

you probably want to use sudo aptitude kubuntu-desktop for a cleaner uninstall. If you use apt-get, you can’t remove everything as clean later.
