I use asesome archiso-live, its default DE is Xfce. Now I want to change to lxde.

Re: Problem with changing my DE
if you have a dm, you can change your default session there. otherwise, did you modify your xinitrc as shown in the wiki?

Re: Problem with changing my DE
Hello!
And did you install all the packages needed to the new DE in fact ?

Re: Problem with changing my DE
I just completed that very shift from xfce4 to lxde. From here http://wiki.lxde.org/en/ArchLinux I used this line:
pacman -Sy ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation ttf-bitstream-vera lxde xorg xorg-video-drivers xorg-input-drivers hal gamin gnome-icon-theme tango-icon-theme openbox
To start lxde do:
xinit /usr/bin/startlxde
Works like a charm and free -m shows almost 100MB less usage than experienced with xfce4. Total 65MB after lxde/ openbox opens, and before opening anything else.
