I was running the lxde desktop., removing lsb_release seems to have
broken this in that after rebooting the system I ended up with a screen
of icons, no lxpanel etc and a right click menu that didn't provide
access to shutdown etc.
It may be better for people to keep lsb_release installed just to be on
the safe side, clearly, if you have a new system it is then best not to
install it or probably not installed by default anyway.
I just wondered if lxde and lsb_release are somehow interlinked and
something from one depends on the other. Anyway have installed xfce
desktop and my system is back up and running normally.
Not sure exactly what has happened, but just thought I would mention
this has happened. Perhaps someone with a development system can look
in to this.
Hope this helps
