Hello I downloaded Vanilla LXDE with sudo apt-get install lxde, but along with it came all these unwanted windows managers like Lubuntu’s customized LXDE among other things.

  • Your question is not clear. What do you mean by "all these unwanted windows managers"? AFAIK, there's just the default one window manager for LXDE and that is Openbox.

The following NEW packages will be installed: consolekit galculator gpicview gtk2-engines leafpad libck-connector0 libfm-data libfm-extra4 libfm-gtk-data libfm-gtk4 libfm-modules libfm4
libmenu-cache-bin libmenu-cache3 libobrender29 libobt2 libpam-ck-connector libxmmsclient-glib1 libxmmsclient6 lxappearance lxde lxde-common lxde-core lxde-icon-theme lxinput lxmenu-data lxmusic lxpanel lxrandr lxsession lxsession-data lxsession-edit lxsession-logout lxshortcut lxterminal menu menu-xdg obconf openbox pcmanfm xarchiver xmms2-core xmms2-plugin-alsa xmms2-plugin-id3v2 xmms2-plugin-mad xmms2-plugin-vorbis xscreensaver

Uninstall the ones you don't want with with:

sudo apt-get remove package1 package2 package3.

Seems pretty "pure" to me enough. When I try with lubuntu-desktop I get WAY more packages.

But if all that is annoying you is the lubuntu-look compared to standard LXDE, just change it.. :)

  • Please include the command you used to generate the output you've posted. Also, please mention your starting point: by that, I mean which desktop environment is already installed. IMO, that would affect the output you've posted if the command I'm requesting is something like apt-get install lxde.
