I want to install KDE in my Ubuntu 12.04 .
I am using LightDM. So how can I fully install KDE? I do not want to remove LightDM.
I want KDE but without any confliction with it.
Is there any way I can use LightDM themed with the Unity greeter with a systemd-based init? The lightdm-unity-greeter package available in the AUR depends upon lightdm-ubuntu, which conflicts with lightdm. lightdm provides a systemd unit, but lightdm-ubuntu does not. Is there another way to have lightdm-ubuntu start on boot even though it doesn't have systemd support?P.S.
I'm trying to create my own Ubuntu LiveCD without Unity. When lightdm loads is says (Failed to load session "ubuntu"). The autologin fails and then lightdm reloads with a normal login screen.
I can login fine with ubuntu user and if I run "sudo x-session-manager" I still get the error message (Failed to load session "ubuntu").
Lightdm is displayed properly but after entering a password and clicking login, I see the screen blink and lightdm window re-appears and asks to log in as if nothing happened.
