I'm playing with Trisquel and trying to install XFCE under Virtualbox.
Testing before the real thing. Installing on Mini/LXDE but tested Gnome with
the same error.
I have followed these two but I cant choose XFCE in the login screen. At
first the installation guide and when that did not work the script/patch in
link two.

Now after all has been updated and installed I test to run "sudo apt-get
dist-upgrade" and it want to upgrade "xfce4-session" and I get this error:
(Reading database ... 137905 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace xfce4-session 4.8.3-0ubuntu2 (using

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I'm wondering how can a error like this come on a clean installation. Only
updated software to latest and then install XFCE. I have tested to delete the
named file above in archives folder, it apt-get downloads it again but still
get same error.
Some time ago I tested to install XFCE on a netinstall installation and it
worked except no login manager/display manager but the normal console login
and then run startx.
