I followed the said steps to successfully install Budgie desktop using tasksel. For now I want to remove it.
I tried the following cmd :
sudo tasksel remove ubuntu-budgie-desktop
but it didn’t work and Budgie is still there. Any idea, what should be done?

Thanks

I tried following these directions. I get to the part sudo tasksel install ubuntu-budgie-desktop and i get an alert saying to find the location of the budgie installation on my computer. as if I need to point it to a usb disc with the install files on it.
here is the error message… Media change: please insert the disc labeled
‘Kubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa - Release amd64 (20200423)’

The files don’t automatically download.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Update> I entered the following command to remove looking for a CD Rom sources list.

“Just remove the cdrom entry from the sources.list file. This can be done easily:”
sudo sed -i ‘/cdrom/d’ /etc/apt/sources.list

Hi Mrsmith,

Welcome to our forums.

Do I get it right, removing the CD from the sources list solved your issue?

Yes @sandmann issue is fixed now.
thanks for the welcome. Liking linux a lot more than windows on my slower laptop. only wish it didn’t require so much tinkering. Grateful for sites like this that provide support.
