What is ubuntu-mate-vg and how to remove the traces of the Ubuntu Mate desktop?

  • 772

I am currently using Kubuntu 17.10 but previously I was running the Ubuntu Mate Desktop.

After installing the Kubuntu Desktop, I deleted all the traces of Ubuntu Mate using the following commands:

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove mate-desktop
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove mate-desktop
sudo apt-get remove mate-*
sudo apt-get autoremove

However, when I opened my KDE partition manager, I saw the following:

First Screenshot

  • ATA TOSHIBA DT01ACA1 - 931.51 GiB (/dev/sda) - This is where my Kubuntu is installed.

  • ATA Hitachi HDS72101 - 931.51 GiB (/dev/sdb) - An empty hard drive.

  • ububutu-mate-vg - 931.27 GiB (/dev/ubuntu-mate-vg) - I have no idea what this is but it seems it is including the ext4 and linuxswamp partitions which logically should belong to the ATA TOSHIBA DT01ACA1 (/dev/sda).

Note: I have never manually partitioned my hard drive in any way. I always use the default settings and options.

My Questions:

Q1). What is the "ubuntu-mate-vg" entry that occupies the /dev/sda5 in the same device of my Kubuntu installation (First Screenshot)?

Q2). What is that "ubuntu-mate-vg" entry that is taking a whole section in my list of devices (Second Screenshot)? and is it possible to delete it?

Any comments, suggestions, or answers will greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance for reading my questions.
