I uninstalled gnome from my Ubuntu Because of performance issue and installed xfce4.So on booting up I get only terminal , so I type sudo startxfce4 to start GUI .

Everything is ok till here.But when I run xfce4 it runs on root mode and when I click switch users it doesn't show the switch user interface as in most OS and runs as root process.Therefore I can't use chrome because it doesn't run in root mode.

IS there a way to integrate xfce4 in Ubuntu so I don't have to type sudo startxfce4 to start GUI or better is there to switch user in interface after that.Because it doesn't do anything when I click switch user on the power button.

  • on bootup can't you select an xfce session form the gear icon underneath where you type your password? – dsSTORM Oct 14 '18 at 14:27
  • What version of Ubuntu are you using? How did you remove the Gnome Desktop from your system? Try running startxfce4 without sudo in front of it. It could be that you might be missing a Display Manager as well for the start up of the system. When you removed Gnome it might have removed GDM3 as well. Try installing LightDM as I believe it is the default Display Manager for Xubuntu (Xfce4) sudo apt install lightdm and reboot the computer. – Terrance Oct 14 '18 at 15:07
  • Without sudo it doesn't startup.Gives an root permission error.Ok I will try to install lightdm and report back – Rajat Seeddharth Oct 14 '18 at 15:17
