Switching running Ubuntu to Lubuntu (14.04)
I wanted to test if my netbook will run more perfomant on Lubuntu, with its lightweigth LXDE desktop. But I always thought I have to re-install the whole system…which is not true! In fact, it is soo simple…
While noticing, that I’m not the only one having this missbelieve…I found this simple solution!
Simply:
- open: Synaptic Package Manger
- search for: lubuntu-core
- check it, agree and apply the change
- wait for total download and installation
- you can select now after booting the system (by clicking the small ubuntu-symbol) to start a Lubuntu
Additional modifications after installation:
- install ARandR: sudo apt-get install arandr (I need it to manage multiple monitors)
- change keyboard layout: Preferences / Keyboard Layout Handler (‘Tastatureingabemethoden’)
