I tried sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop.
It turned out like this:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

Anyone knows what this means and how to fix it ?

          Seems like you had a broken update or software install so either your apt-cache is messed up or your dpkg isn't getting a lock. First try



          sudo dpkg --configure -a


          Then:



          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get autoclean
          sudo apt-get clean
          sudo apt-get autoremove
          sudo dpkg --remove -force --force-remove-reinstreq broken-packagename


          Optionally to remove unity:



          sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-default-settings

          sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop

          sudo apt-get autoremove

            Have you tried installing the base xfce desktop package called "xfce4"? Installing that will install the base xfce desktop, without all of the extra packages used by Xubuntu (eg, gnome-dependencies, xubuntu artwork, etc). This way you wouldn't have more than one text editor, update manager, cd burner, audio player, etc (because thay are all required by Xubuntu).



            After installing XUbuntu , you can remove Unity by



            sudo apt-get autoremove --purge unity unity-common unity-services unity-lens-* unity-scope-* unity-webapps-* gnome-control-center-unity hud libunity-core-6* libunity-misc4 libunity-webapps* appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt* overlay-scrollbar* activity-log-manager-control-center firefox-globalmenu thunderbird-globalmenu libufe-xidgetter0 xul-ext-unity xul-ext-webaccounts webaccounts-extension-common xul-ext-websites-integration gnome-control-center gnome-session
