I just upgraded my older laptop to Ubuntu 14.04 and I want to try something more lightweight.

So, I installed lubuntu-desktop as recommended in how to replace ubuntu with lubuntu and it made no difference.

When I purged unity and unity-2das recommended in Is there an easy way to change Ubuntu flavor during upgrade?, the unity Panel on top of the screen disappeared but no new menus are available and pressing the "start" button (on the left) does not do anything. I hoped that I would see something similar to the pre-unity ubuntu, but this did not happen.

So, how do I switch from ubuntu to lubuntu (without burning a CD and installing from scratch? (or at least get a working ubuntu back!)

  1. After you install Lubuntu-desktop package, you can start to use lubuntu, I am also using lubuntu.

  2. When you see the login screen, at the upper right corner, try to change it to lubuntu, then you can use it as lubuntu :)
