Back in the PPC days I ran Xubuntu with LXDE added . . . didn't seem to cause problems . . . . Now I have multiple OSs, and instead of having multiple DEs I have variations of DE in the different systems . . . Plasma seems to be very popular these days, and Lu is I think borrowing from Plasma to do what it does, could be going to Plasma DE should be compatible with modern Lu . . . or I have XFCE as the driver for one of my Manjaro installs . . . XFCE is pretty good . . . lots of services, etc. Cheap, etc. F -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

In that system, I installed the LXDE desktop, which works fine. Is it also possible to install the Gnome desktop in that system, and use that (choosing which desktop at login time)? I know it will use a fair amount of disk-space, but that isn't a problem for me. Try, Aere, It will probably work, but I suggest that you try in a separate system dedicated for this purpose. There might be some hiccups. Best regards Nio Lubuntu Users: I installed ubuntu-gnome-desktop on one of my music performance laptops, and that seems to work fine. If any of you want to try it, be sure to apply all updates before installing it, to avoid problems that took a bit of skill to overcome. I don't know if I'll be able to upgrade it when the next stable release rolls-around, but that's less important on a music performance machine. The good advantage I got, is that I can now tap-to-click on the touchpad, and it shuts down quickly (without any of those 90 second delays that often happen with Lubuntu). When it boots, it still says it's Lubuntu, but that's not a problem. -- Sincerely, Aere -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

You can actually make/install custom plymouth screens, as well if you like that sort of thing. -- Regards, Israel -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

There are different ways to achieve this, either by boot parameters or by not having a splash in the first place. Google is your friend. All my Linux, including my Ubuntu install boot without a splash, but I can't help with your install, since my installs are much customized in the first place, e.g. by installing Ubuntu without even X, before installing the environments I want, let alone e.g. my Arch Linux install. Apart from this I'm using syslinux instead of grub2. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
