starting LXDE on Ubuntu

Post by Skaperen »

i am wanting to run several instances of xtightvnc, an X server with a virtual buffer that can be access by the vnc protocol (it works). i'd like to try LXDE there. i found this thread viewtopic.php?t=1715 that said to do startlxde. however that file does not exist. i do have the package named lxde installed. files like /usr/bin/lxterminal do exist. i have already tried several other DEs under xtightvnc and all have some form of failure. what does it take to get LXDE running here? the OS is Ubuntu (not Lubuntu) 16.04.2 LTS. with tightvncserver version 1.3.10-0ubuntu3 and lxde plus lxde-core version 7ubuntu1 and lxde-icon-theme version 0.5.1-1.
