Urgent help required. I installed this transferring the file to MYDOcs and entering code:

root
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/hildon-desktop_kinetic_2.2.138-1+0m5_armel.deb
killall hildon-desktop

However, now I can only use four desktops (even though in manage views there are 6 desktops selected). Also I cannot scroll between desktops using keyboard arrow keys (which I prefer a million times to swiping with my finger).

I don't know if the problem is this conflicts with modifiled hildon home. Is there a fix? If not how do I revert back to before I put this on? Will deleting the file from MyDocs be enough?

EDIT: Okay found this: Anyways, to undo, apt-get --reinstall install hildon-desktop

Did that and get message "Package hildon-desktop is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source"

If there is a major conflict between this and modified hildon (which looks like is the case) then I think there should be a warning in the first post.

EDIT 2: Okay I managed to restore. I did:

apt-get --reinstall install modified-hildon-desktop

Now I am back to having 9 desktops and being able to scroll between desktops using the keyboard. Yaaay.
