I want to uninstall lxde env from the ubuntu 14.04 but when I try to remove I get package not installed error. 

apt-get autoremove lubuntu-desktop
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package 'lubuntu-desktop' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

apt-get purge lxde
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package 'lxde' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

The about screen shows LXPanel 0.6.1 I confirmed using below command also.

echo $DESKTOP_SESSION
Lubuntu

The lxde packages installed, I guess, are:

apt-get purge lubuntu-
lubuntu-artwork           lubuntu-artwork-14-04     lubuntu-core              lubuntu-default-settings  lubuntu-icon-theme        lubuntu-lxpanel-icons

apt-get purge lx
lxmenu-data                      lxpanel-indicator-applet-plugin  lxsession-data                   lxterminal                       
lxpanel                          lxsession                        lxsession-logout

What's the problem here? Do I have to uninstall each one separately? Help please.

Thanks

  • You wrote: "The lxde packages installed, I guess ..." Why do you need to guess? Why don't you show us the correct commands? How did you install lxde? How do you get any response by issuing apt-get purge lubuntu- assuming you're a normal user and not admin? How and why are you running apt-get without sudo?
