Can't load Kubuntu Desktop on Ubuntu 12.10
Hi team,
I've successfully installed Kubuntu on Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) running GNOME 3.6.0 (Ubuntu 2012-10-04) following the FromUbuntuToKubuntu instructions at https:/
Unfortunately I'm not provided with any option to change Session either upon logout or following reboot.
I can see kde app's in the all applications view. The only visible sign is the appearnce of KDE Accessible icon up the top!
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
kubuntu-desktop is already the newest version.

From the login screen there is a circular icon next to your name and just above the box you enter your password in. It is not obvious but clicking on this brings up a menu where you should be able to select the KDE desktop and login. Once done KDE will be the default but you can click this icon again to change back if you wish.
