I tried the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (Karmic Koala 9.10 version) on my desktop by installing the meta package ubuntu-netbook-remix and by adding the Go Home and Window Picker applets to the upper panel. Because the Desktop Switcher application has been dropped from the Karmic Koala release, I was searching for a documented way to remove the netbook remix. I couldn’t find one, so I determined on another desktop which packages are being installed and came up with the following:
- Remove the Go Home and Window Picker applets
- Using System | Preferences | Startup Applications disable and remove:
- Maximus Windows Management
- Netbook Launcher
- Issue the following commands in the terminal:
- sudo apt-get remove go-home-applet libclutk-0.2-0 libfakekey0 liblauncher-0.1-0 libnetbook-launcher-0 maximus netbook-launcher ubuntu-netbook-remix-default-settings webfav window-picker-applet ubuntu-netbook-remix
- sudo apt-get remove cheese (if you hadn’t Cheese installed before)
- sudo apt-get autoremove
- Reboot
If you know a simpler way, please let me know.
I ran your commands, but now my machine is freezing when I put a password into the login screen. Strange, it boots from the fail safe grub item but not from the standard item.

I don’t know what is wrong.
You could try to reinstall the removed packages using sudo apt-get install …
