How do I install fluxbox in Ubuntu 20.04

  • 772

I use Ubuntu 20.04 and I want to install and then configure and test Fluxbox.

Later, once acquired enough experience, I would proceed to uninstall Gnome.

For the uninstallation of Gnome the suggested post will be very useful.

Thanks a lot.

gnome uninstall fluxbox 20.04

  1. To install Fluxbox,first you will want to make sure that you’ve enabled the universe repository.

    Open up a terminal window and type in the following command:

    sudo apt-get install fluxbox

    You will be prompted for your password, and the installation will continue.

    Once you are done installing, you will need to rebooting the computer.

    At the Ubuntu Login prompt, click the Options button in the bottom left hand corner.

    You will be prompted to choose from a list of Window Managers that are installed on your system.

    Select Fluxbox and continue to login.

    The main menu can be seen by right-clicking on the desktop.

    At the bottom of the screen, you will see a taskbar that shows you the running programs and lets you switch between workspaces.

    As long as you have not developed enough experience with Fluxbox, you should not uninstall Gnome.
