[xubuntu-users] Changing from Ubuntu installation to Xubuntu.

[Chris Andrew]

Hi, all.

New to the list :-).

I've been using Ubuntu since the first public release, and regularly
use different desktops/Wm's.

To cut a long story short, I have a built-in soundcard and a PCI card.
 When I use Gnome (Pulseaudio, I believe), my music/ movies/ sound
never come out of the same device.  I find this unpredictability
annoying and unacceptable.

As Gnome is too bloaty, I decided that as I am using Xfce most of the
time, it would be best to demonstrate my allegiance, and make the
switch to Xubuntu.

My first question is, how does a standard install of Xubuntu control
sound output (will I have the same problem as Gnome)?

My second question, if I want to completely remove Gnome and just have
Xubuntu installed, rather than doing a fresh install, what is the best
way to achieve this?

The obvious solution would seem to be to search for all Gnome packages
that are installed, and remove them, and also search for xubuntu
packages (specifically xubuntu-desktop), and make sure they are
installed.

Would anybody agree/ disagree with this method?

Many thanks,

Chris.
