(Selecting "lightdm" worked for me I didn't try selecting the "gdm" option.)
#How to uninstall unity assets fro install#
If you install "gnome-core" as a replacement, you'll be asked to choose between the " lightdm" or the " gdm" desktop manager during the installation process. For example, you could install "gnome-core" as follows: sudo apt-get install gnome-core Step 1: Provided that you want to replace Unity with some other desktop environment, first install the replacement desktop environment. Similar to: How can I remove "Ubuntu Netbook Edition" option from the GDM session menu? This will revert your installation to a traditional desktop with 2 panels and GNOME.

In addition to removing the unity package search for ubuntu-netbook in the Ubuntu Software Center and remove the packages ubuntu-netbook and ubuntu-netbook-default-settings.
For example, sudo apt-get install gnome-core can be used to install the Gnome Desktop Environment from the terminal, or sudo apt-get install lxde can be used to install LXDE from the terminal, etc. From LightDM, you can use "CTRL+ALT+F1" to exit into a terminal, from which you can install a new desktop environment, if desired. But with Unity removed, LightDM won't have any desktops to manage, and so attempting to log in from LightDM will result in an error message. Note: After removing Unity using the above described method, provided LightDM hasn't been otherwise removed, you'll still be greeted with the LightDM desktop manager upon rebooting into Ubuntu. Syslinux-legacy will be installed, but this can be safely ignored. Remove the following packages: sudo apt-get remove unity unity-2d unity-2d-panel unity-2d-spread unity-asset-pool unity-services unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-applications gir1.2-unity-5.0 unity-common indicator-sound indicator-power indicator-appmenu libindicator7 indicator-application indicator-datetime indicator-messages libnux-2.0-0 nux-tools libunity-misc4 unity-2d-common
