  114. apt-get remove mate-core
  115.  
  116. Now the only problem is MATE doesn't show the nice Kali Linux Menu. Fix posted by Silver Moon
  117.  
  118. To fix this edit the following file.
  119. Code:
  120.  
  121. leafpad /etc/xdg/menus/mate-applications.menu
  122.  
  123. In the file go down to the section named Internet and add the following line
  124. HTML Code:
  125.  
  126. <!-- Kali Linux Menu -->
  127. <MergeFile type="path">applications-merged/kali-applications.menu</MergeFile>
  128.  
  129. So it should look something like this
  130. HTML Code:
  131.  
  132. .....
  133. <!-- Internet -->
  134. <Menu>
  135. <Name>Internet</Name>
  136. <Directory>mate-network.directory</Directory>
  137. <Include>
  138. <And>
  139. <Category>Network</Category>
  140. </And>
  141. </Include>
  142. </Menu> <!-- End Internet -->
  143. <!-- Kali Linux -->
  144. <MergeFile type="path">applications-merged/kali-applications.menu</MergeFile>
  145. .....
  146.  
  147. Now save the file, Logout and Login back. The "Kali Linux" menu should display fine in Mate desktop's application menu.
  148. Credits

  244. Which KDE desktop environment you installed? Some more info would help. A quick way to find these is via going through your bash history and revert them (apt-get install to apt-get remove) and finally, apt-get autoremove.
  245.  
  246. I would tread carefully when you're using autoremove, depending on what you've done to your system, it's got a nasty habit of removing useful stuffs.

  271. Reading package lists... Done
  272. Building dependency tree
  273. Reading state information... Done
  274. Package xfce4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
  275. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
  276. is only available from another source
  277.  
  278. E: Package 'xfce4' has no installation candidate
  279. E: Unable to locate package xfce4-places-plugin
  280. E: Unable to locate package xfce4-goodies
