Years ago, I installed Kubuntu.
I used KDE a few years and installed (additionaly) Lubuntu-Desktop (sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop
).
Because I like LXDE more than KDE, I tried to remove the existing KDE, by removing all KDE related stuff (with help of Synaptic).
Everthing was OK. Most of the KDE-Stuff was gone.
But everytime an Release-Upgrade is available (and installed), a lot of the KDE-Stuff will also be installed again.
How can I change this behaviour?
How to tell the Release-Upgrade that I use/want to have Lubuntu now?
EDIT:
When I try to remove kde-runtime
via Synaptic, Synaptic would also like to remove ubuntu-release-upgrade-qt
. I fear that I need this to upgrade to newer releases. Does each Ubuntu has it's own Upgrade-Process-Tool?
EDIT 2:
The general advice to do so, is to backup the personal files and to re-install the correct ubuntu version.
But, to be honest, where's the fun?
This seems like a nice 20 minute adventure.
(I don't want to give up my carefully, over years brought up, ubuntu. I will get rid of you KDE!)
kubuntu-desktop
. I don't know how much will be removed, and if something will be damaged, but it could stop the system from wanting to install the Kubuntu (KDE) stuff again. Maybe you need to identify and remove some other meta-package too.dpkg -S /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade
and it will replyubuntu-release-upgrader-core: /usr/bin/do-release-upgrade
so yes, the qt-tool you describe in the edited question is not used by Lubuntu.do-release-upgrade
is used (and it comes with the packageubuntu-release-upgrader-core
