What is the command to remove all Ubuntu apps from a Kubuntu desktop, and vice versa, in Ubuntu 14.04? I want to keep the new Unity Locker, but remove everything else :)

          All you need to install kubuntu is:



          sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop



          Apart from that to Switch Between The New Unity Lockscreen And LightDM In Ubuntu 14.04



          Firstly install CompizConfig Settings Manager (CCSM):



          sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager



          Then open CompizConfig Settings Manager, click on Ubuntu Unity Plugin and on the General tab, under "Lockscreen", you can select to use Unity, LightDM or no lockscreen:



          That's it - there's no need to restart the system or log out, the settings should be applied instantly.

            This may be misleading: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage; essentially it won't really remove anything.
