    Can't get to login screen after removing KDE

    I recently decided to try out KDE, but I find gnome suits me better so wanted to remove it. I noticed that doing:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop
    doesn't actually remove it, so I followed the instructions found HERE

    I then restarted my computer, but as soon as it gets to the "Ubuntu" boot screen, the screen goes glitchy, almost as if the screen cable is damaged somehow. It doesn't get to any (visible) login screen.

    So I went into safe mode, dropped down to networked terminal, and tried to undo what had been removed (just replaced "remove" with "install" from before). This didn't help.

    I then tried doing
    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
    That didn't help either.

    D:

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Maybe you need to reconfigure the login-manager..
    Code:
    dpkg-reconfigure gdm
    (Choose gdm)
