In reply to Ryan Daly #20, ubuntu-desktop is only a meta-package. This means basically you could do "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" and it will get everything you need automatically. Removing meta-packages won't actually remove, say, nautilus or network-manager. Apt will show you everything that will be removed if you try to pull out a package. On a command line, do apt-get remove gnome-power-manager, and it will show you all the packages that will be affected by the change, and will ask for a confirmation. For instance: <code> user@host:~/.cache/sessions$ sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop [sudo] password for supreme: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: xubuntu-desktop 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. After this operation, 44.0 kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? </code>
Now, back on topic (sorry). I wish I had better news, but I have this same issue again on a different machine. Same build type- Ubuntu with Unity first, moved to XFCE later. I followed the steps I had posted ealier and removed the unity and gnome power stuff. No dice this time. XFCE power manager just doesn't like to start up. What's more, this time I can't even start it on CLI via the --no-daemon option in order to get bug output, as it's already running. But it's a Zombie that can't be killed: <code> root@host:~# ps ax | grep power 1402 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/upower/upowerd 1926 ? Ss 0:00 xfce4-power-manager 2577 ? Ss 0:00 xfce4-power-manager 5212 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto power root@host:~# kill 1926 root@host:~# kill 2577 root@host:~# ps ax | grep power 1402 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/lib/upower/upowerd 1926 ?
