I'm wondering, what is the reccomended way to install LXDE alongside Ubuntu 19.04, while getting the full "Lubuntu" experience? I tried running the following command:
>$ sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop
...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
lubuntu-desktop : Depends: ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: plasma-discover but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I know I can do sudo apt install lxde
, but does that give everything that lubuntu-desktop has? Or will it just be a stripped-down default LXDE installation?
I tried doing and apt update
and dist-upgrade
, but it made no change.
lubuntu-desktop
isn't trying to install the LXDE desktop at all. Do you want Lubuntu (LXQt) or LXDE ? – guiverc May 08 '19 at 22:28sudo apt -f install
, then try installinglubuntu desktop ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt
(ie. tack on the packages it says it needs into same command). I've had your issue twice last few months, but i forget what I did sorry. – guiverc May 08 '19 at 22:37lubuntu-desktop
