It seems there is a dependency conflict which makes it impossible to have lubuntu-desktop
installed together with xserver-xorg-core-hwe-16.04 To avoid the problem, I downgraded and (re)installed the non-hwe xserver: sudo apt install xserver-xorg-core This removed xserver-xorg-core-hwe-16.04 (as intended), but also lubuntu-desktop and a few other things (as a side effect). I then reinstalled these lost packages: sudo apt install xorg lubuntu-desktop [Caution: after the first step (and reboot) the console was nonresponsive, so the second step had do be done from an ssh login.] I now have a clean system again, but the fact remains that lubuntu- desktop (or one of its dependencies) and xserver-xorg-core-hwe-16.04 seem to be in conflict. ** Summary changed: - Lubuntu - recent update problems related to xserver + Lubuntu - recent update problems related to xserver hwe-16.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1726086 Title: Lubuntu - recent update problems related to xserver hwe-16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1726086/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
