Hello All,
I've just installed Lubuntu 14.04 (32 bit) on an old Pentium III machine
and get an error on login, "Desktop manager is not active". Any helpful
thoughts will be most welcome.
I have full access to the machine via the command line, but haven't a
clue how to kickstart presumably, lxde.

Did you try startx from the console? Also: It might be an idea, given
you have network connection running, to install an alternative login
manager like slim, eg.
sudo apt-get install slim
Then, in case lightdm is installed but somehow broken, you would be
prompted with a question which login manager you prefer. Choose slim and
see what happens.
Otherwise, try from the console
dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
Good luck!
Thanks for the help. I retained my home directory from a previous
installation of lxle and guessed that this might be at the root of the
problem. Re-installing, but this time re-formatting the home directory
partition made the problem go away and I now have lubuntu running - well
walking with a limp anyway. :-)
