Need to install LXTask in LXDE
Posted: Thu Oct 10, 2013 10:51 pm
I'm running a Ubuntu server 12.04 micro instance in AWS. Once I had the instance up and running, I did the following:
1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install lxde
Once it was installed I did the following:
1. sudo start lxdm
I then installed xrdp and connected to my instance using Windows Remote Desktop. Worked great. Nice minimal desktop. Found it didn't have a browser and installed Firefox. Worked great (well, I probably should have installed a less memory intense browser, so may do that later).
But, seems to be missing some things. In particular, there is "NO" LXTask (task manager) listed in the System Tools. Just UXTerm and Xterm. I looked in all the other menu choices, particularly "accessories" and "other", and found no task manager (the "other" menu choice has a long list of utilities, but don't see LXTask manager (or, anything else that looked like some sort of system manager)).
Question - What is the command line used to go get and install the LXTask utility? I tried apt-get install LXTask and it found nothing. Googled like crazy, probably for a full hour, and found nothing.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Orrn
