How to change desktop environment in Ubuntu 15.10

Question

I just installed Ubuntu 15.10 on VM and I can't change desktop environment. In previous versions you could switch between Unity and Gnome on login screen, but now this option have gone.

Or am I doing something wrong?

Solution 1

That's because you haven't installed it yet :)

Open a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T and enter:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

Solution 2

If you have multiple DE's installed, you will see it.

Try Kubuntu :

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

or lxde :

sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop

Or gnome :

sudo apt-get install gnome

Please note, it downloads quite a few packages.
