No UI...?

[dcubox1]

So I was trying to switch between the skins on my virtualbox setup with UI1 and after choosing the slate skin I now have a blank UI with No buttons etc!! and I cannot get back into Kde to change it back!!

Anyone know how to get into Kde or even change the UI skin through a database query via the command line?

Can you get to the webadmin and sort it out there?

Yea i had the same problem, Kooma is correct you can switch it back using webadmin.

No I cant get to the webadmin, I have NO buttons at all, so clicking on the area where Computing normally is does nothing!!

Do you have another machine (Linux or Windoze) on th "inside" network that you can open a web browser from?

From there, Webadmin and.....

It is setup on a virtual box by its self as in its the only machine i have on the virtualbox setup. can i get to it through the windows machine i have vbox installed on?

If you're using some kind of host only network on the virtual box then you can. 

Actually even if you're using Nat or bridged connections you should be able to also. In theory, I don't know how you vbox is setup.

What is your vm sitting on? vmware (if so which one), Parallels, xenapp??

Another option is to bring up another vm.  That's providing you're not using vmware fusion or what ever it's called.  If you installed a server just create a small vm and live boot ubuntu or something.  It should come up on the same network as lmce.  This of course is in theory, again i don't know how you've got it setup.  I have a dedicated vmware server and it communicates with the guest OS with out any trouble. It's all in how you configured the networking.
