I decided to install OpenBox on Ubuntu Server. I installed it using sudo apt install openbox obmenu obconf lightdm lxterminal firefox. After a reboot, I logged in and was taken to Gnome. I had to switch to Openbox from lightdm. My question is, how do I uninstall Gnome?

EDIT: I am running Ubuntu 19.10, I didn't check what packages get installed with LightDM

  • When running the sudo apt install … command, did you check to see what exactly was being installed along with lightdm? And I'm not sure that Firefox will run without a desktop environment.

  • You haven't said what release you are talking about. I note lxterminal which historically was maintained by the Lubuntu team, but Lubuntu having switched to qterminal for the last three releases, lxterminal may not be the wisest choice... I won't look at GNOME as I don't know you release (which matters due to changes..)

Looks like lightdm is responsible for installing Gnome.
