Bootscreen changed in Ubuntu to Kubuntu

[Patio]

I have been using ubuntu 9.04 since a month now and i decided to give a try to Kubuntu. So i just upgraded my ubuntu from Kubuntu CD-ROM. Now the bootscreen changed from ubuntu to kubuntu. Is this normal? Also now the gnome desktop environment is gone. i like the KDE desktop environment but its not user friendly or may be i am not familiar to it. Any help!?

Which version did you use to upgrade? If you used the kubuntu's older version, that might have been the problem. Well use Kubuntu 9.04 CD-Rom to upgrade. Changing of bootscreen is not a problem but changing of Desktop Environment is a problem. You should get a choice to select which Desktop Environment you want to use. If you get a choice then everything is ok. Post back..

I am a linux newbie and don't know much about it. Its my curiosity that pulled me to linux OS. Well i don't know from where to select the Desktop Environment. Can anyone help me on that. Also i upgraded Ubuntu 9.04 via Kubuntu 9.04 CD. Help!

When you boot your computer and when the login screen appears, there will be an "option" button on the login page from where you can change the type of session. Select the Desktop Environment from Gnome and KDE which you wan't to login to. Also when logged in you can change the default Desktop Environment from "Preferences" in the menu.
