I installed Ubuntu in a virtual machine using the official mini.iso image and decided to try Xubuntu with the following command:

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xubuntu-desktop

But what I got you can see here:

enter image description here

No icons (though some icons are ok), wallpaper, tray.

The same happens when if I install xfce4. I reinstalled Ubuntu from mini.iso and tried this:

sudo apt-get install xfce4

But there are still no icons (in the same places). And desktop icons look horrible.

Please help me to get a normal UI. I really don't want to install Ubuntu with a huge package of unnecessary software.

  • Looks like you need xfce4, rather then xubuntu-desktop ~ possible duplicate of [GUI for ubuntu server: xfce or xubuntu-desktop](http://askubuntu.com/questions/305646/gui-for-ubuntu-server-xfce-or-xubuntu-desktop) ...and sure, it's wrong for you only. – mikewhatever Apr 23 '15 at 12:39
  • Have just tried xfce4, it didn't help. The problem is like with Xubuntu. The same icons are missed and the rest of them look really bad. – Alex Apr 23 '15 at 19:11

Dealt with this recently. The following fixed it for me:

sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme-full tango-icon-theme
