I installed Gnome as an alternative desktop environment on 14.04. However, since rebooting:
- the loader graphic when starting and shutting down my machien shows the Gnome foot rather than the Ubuntu logo
- my login screen looks slightly different
- when I log into my Ubuntu (Unity) desktop environment, the window decorations are distinctly different.
How do I restore the appearance of my Ubuntu (Unity) loader, login screen and desktop to the default settings?
While it was installing an dialog came up asking me which window manager should be my default. I thought the answer was "lightdm" so I picked that. I have since found out that is probably not the cause.
Based on the answer to How to set a default window manager? I tried looking at /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/ubuntu.session
but it doesn't contain a DefaultProvider-windowmanager
property.
If I run sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
I get:
There is only one alternative in link group x-window-manager (providing /usr/bin/x-window-manager): /usr/bin/mutter
Nothing to configure.
dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
useful?
