Hi Spike, Ok, I see what you are now saying. mini.iso + sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop You might try to install lubuntu-core first, then lubuntu-desktop
One thing to check would be permissions of the home folder, and the hidden contents of things like .config/ .cache/ et cetera... My guess is that either you are missing something vital (though lubuntu-core is a dependency of lubuntu-desktop) OR the way you are doing it is messing up permissions in something in your home folder. It could be something entirely different but those two are the first two things I'd look at -- Regards -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
