Hello, this is my third post, I am new to Trisquel8, I installed it on an old
laptop HP ProBook 6555b.
After first solved problems I got to use wifi and now I found another issue:
system is working a bit slowly and it takes a little delay time when I even
write, internet browser it is slow too. I have been investigating and it
looks like I should try a lighter desktop environment. I tried to use lxde
but even installing it was not appearing as a choice in the login screen(as
people say it is the common situation), indeed there was no button to select
any choice... Then I installed another desktop environment I found, xfce,
just for testing if that one would appear as a choice on that
non-existing(then) menu and it happened I got succesed, next to my login name
it appeared a trisquel button showing two choices: MATE and XFCE.
So I thought it was something related to lxde installation, I uninstalled and
installed again with no luck. I found a web telling about this exact issue,
it looked like the repository by default when I typed "sudo apt-get install
lxde" was not properly working or not having the full stuff, so I went to the
official lxde web and they recommended adding a repository to my system, I
did it just by typing: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lxde/ppa". I uninstalled
lxde and then I installed it again with "sudo apt-get install lxde". And this
time it worked! I logged out and the I could see MATE, XFCE and LXDE! And
even another one calle OPEN... (I don't remember, I will edit later)
Maybe 99% of you know this procedure or could think it is a very newbie thing
but I was not able to find it on the forum neither the web, so I decided to
post it here, maybe some other users could have the same doubt. It is a micro
contribution but it is all I can do by now.
