Switch from lxde to xfce

Hello!

I have problems with the lxde-edition of sparky-linux:
1.  lxsession update fails,
2. In sparky-APTus: clicking "fully update system" gives a terminal-window with title: "no shell found" ("Kann keine shell finden" in german).

So I will try xfce. So how can I change from lxde to xfce?

Thank you!

Hi
The problem with lxsession, which has to bee upgraded can be solved in easy way, check here:
http://sparkylinux.org/forum/index.php?topic=2701.msg4336#msg4336
If you still have a problem, let me know, I will write a more exact guide.

The second problem with "shell not found" - looks like you have installed the latest 'sparky-aptus-upgrade' package or another terminal emulator.
I posted how to fix that, on the end of the text:
http://sparkylinux.org/sparky-aptus-upgrade-0-1-7/
Simply run, as root:
update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
to choose different terminal emulator.
In your case it should be: lxterminal.

To change from lxde to xfce, open Synaptic, refresh package list and install xfce4.
Nothing is easy as it looks. Danielle Steel

This solves the problem, but after login I get this error-message:
"GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject"

Remove the file:
~HOME/.config/autostart/lxpolkit.desktop
then reboot.
