My experience is that installing 'apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' doesn't produce the desired results as it pulls in recommends that will pull in the extra items listed above in #32 for the reasons explained in #25.
I've had better success with 'apt-get install xubuntu-desktop^' which doesn't pull in the extra 110ish packages for the other desktops. Perhaps there could be better clarification on what the xubuntu-desktop TASK is doing compared to the xubuntu-desktop META-PACKAGE. Maybe there could be a maintained list of what goes into a xubuntu installation so people can make more informed decisions on what to install for the xubuntu desktop on a minimal server install or having multiple desktops installed (which poses other issues). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754872 Title: apt install xubuntu-desktop does not resolve dependencies properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1754872/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
