I did this:

cd /usr/share/xsessions sudo rm LXDE.desktop sudo rm xubuntu.desktop sudo rm xfce.desktop

I installed LXDE and xubuntu-desktop using the Ubuntu Software Center. I don't see the option to select either one in the Ubuntu Greeter.

PCManFM stopped working 35 weeks 6 days ago

PCmanFM is not accessible.

My lubuntu desktop has become unusable: the normal desktop, handled (i think) by pcmanfm was replaced by an empty one, while pcmanfm became unstable: first used 100% of cpu, then would not be accessible at all, despite the fact that it is runing.

I have installed LXDE beside lubuntu-desktop and for a while in lxde all looked normal, but after several logins/logouts the

Can somebody clear this up for me please? I always thought LXDE comes without a compositor or an element that is present in other desktop environments (DE's) that causes other desktop environments to degrade desktop performance.
