How can I uninstall mir?

  • 772

I followed the instructions here to install Mir on my laptop on Saucy 13.10. Ubuntu Mir

It works well except for a known bug which causes the Laptop to go into low graphics after suspend.

So for a while I would like to go back to default without Mir. Ubsure how I can exactly get this done. What packages do I need to install to get back to default?

unity

  1. You should be able to remove Mir with the following: 

    sudo apt-get purge mir-demos unity-system-compositor

    then run: 

    sudo apt-get autoremove

    To remove any leftover dependencies. Reboot the machine.

    To check if Mir was successfully removed run: 

    ps afx | grep unity-system-compositor

    There should be no process with a name of unity-system-compositor.

  2. Remove the session

    sudo apt-get remove unity8-desktop-session-mir

    Now remove the dependencies

    sudo apt-get autoremove
