Quick Tips: Installing LXDE on Ubuntu

18 02 2009

LXDE, Lighweight X11 Desktop Environment, another fast and lightweight windows manager. I prefer use this than XFCE :p

Here is some steps to install it on Ubuntu:

1. Add the repo line for lxde

$ sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

copy this following repo line:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ubuntu hardy main

*for another release of Ubuntu, just change the hardy to yours

2.  Update and Install LXDE

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo aptitude install lxde


3. Logout your current user and select the LXDE on session selector

Finish . .:p

I tied it now at the 31th of March 2009, at 8.25 PM and could not install it. Is their server down ?
