How can someone switch from Kubuntu to Ubuntu?
I need the OS to be more lighter than Kubuntu, so I need things to be unistalled from Kubuntu and the LXDE to be installed.

I am talking about 11.10 .

EDIT: I care alot if my system will be lightweight!

This PC is very old.(512 MB RAM)

It may be better to do those operations from a TTY not from a terminal, do CTRL+ALT+F1 and logon on a real TTY.

Optionnal : Uninstall Kubuntu desktop sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop -> It's optionnal because you can have both environements installed but only one running.

Then remove it dependencies sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

After that, install the lubuntu desktop sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

Then, reboot your machine.

Be carefull : this process might corrupt the system, do a backup before proceed.
