   Thanks, Michael. I tried that but all I got was the following message:   
      
   paul@Main:~$ apt-get install xubuntu-desktop   
   E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)   
   E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?   
   paul@Main:~$    
      
      
   Any help appreciated
