hmmm... ok. terminal in 11.10 invoked ctrl+alt+t default, not problem.

think should install kde , use while, or other interface.

kde, type in terminal (kde more full featured lxde, more bloated , has {minor} compatibility issues gnome) :
code:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
warning! large download size.
lxde:
code:
sudo apt-get install lxde
now turn off computer. when logon screen, click on spanner near password bar, , there can choose interface. set either lxde or kde, ever 1 installed.
