Re: Brile TTY?

Thanks for the answer, but I need a clarification:

Should I accept the dependency check and then re-install ubuntu-desktop?

Ubuntu-desktop is just a "meta-package" -- a list of other packages.
It's perfectly safe to remove it. You may want to reinstall it,
however, when upgrading to the next major release of ubuntu, since the
package is used to keep track of all the "default" applications on a
standard install.
