Bug Description

Hi,

I am currently running ubuntu dapper beta in my laptop. Everything was fine till I thought of previewing kubuntu. So I did a 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'. Everything installed fine and I logged out and went into KDE to check it out. Then I logged in Gnome and I started to notice some difference. The ubuntu brown theme has gone blue now. If I select text, or any menu option or anything else, it is in kubuntu blue, except the window frame, which is in brown. Even if I select a icon it is selected with blue color. Then I opened OpenOffice, and now I see that more problems are popping up. See the open office screen for yourself ..

In essence, all the menu icons are gone. If I go to the menu themselves, I just get a blank drop down list. However, the icons, menu items just under the mouse pointer are visible.

Well, all the problems mentioned in bug 36256 is still present. It was mentioned that it will be solved on 20th, but it is still not solved. Additionally, when I bot the system or shut down, the boot screen(or shut down screen) is the kubuntu one and not the ubuntu one. So I think the boot splash is also overwritten !

you're right, bug 36256 is still in progress and has not been fixed yet.

the bootsplash "bug" is not a real bug, when you add kubuntu to your ubuntu install the kubuntu splash appears, that's normal and makes sense in my opinion.

BTW, to change the bootsplash between Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, you can use the following command in a terminal:

sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so

which will prompt you to choose your default bootsplash.

Don't forget to "sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)" after
fiddling with update-alternatives.
