Problem booting ubuntu after uninstalling KDE

us flag

Whenever I boot my ubuntu system it goes into tty mode, there is no gui.

Every time I boot I have to use startx in tty to access my desktop. I installed KDE plasma a long time ago without deleting gnome. Then I switched back to gnome by following the instruction on this site

I tried following the instructions on this forum to solve this problem.

If I run the command which gdm nothing shows up and If I run ls etc/init.d | grep gdm it says no such file or directory

But if I run cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager it shows /usr/sbin/gdm3

Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-46-generic

Help me.

Changing the DE on an installed system can be extremely messy. This is why Ubuntu developers spend so much effort on releasing and maintaining 9 distinct desktop [flavours](https://ubuntu.com/desktop/flavours). It's recommended for users to choose the DE before system installation. With that in mind, if you'd still like to troubleshoot your current system, you will likely need to provide more details about the full history of your installation as well as more details about the problem you are experiencing as well as the details of attempts to fix it. I recommend you reinstall.

What do these say? `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart` `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 restart` `ls /etc/init.d | grep gdm` You seem to be mentioning etc instead of /etc. Just to be sure. May be you have a typo in other configurations as well.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
