In the top right corner near the other indicators, there is a place to click to choose other sessions. I am not using the default icon theme so I cannot tell you exactly what it looks like, but IIRC it may be a gear icon, though I do not remember. Clicking on this should produce a drop down list which allows you to select another session, make sure you choose Lubuntu (possibly Lubuntu Desktop if that is an option... sorry I don't tend to remember the login screen well enough). Once you have chosen it, click the drop down again, to verify it is the highlighted option, before trying to log in. If this succeeded, then HURRAY! Else, let us know what happened... -- Regards -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
