XFCE won't run on Ubuntu 18.04 unless you set
Ubuntu to use X instead
of Wayland. And it doesn't run reliably even then.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who's finding Ubuntu bionic to be,
um...not quite what you expect from LTS releases. I tried to migrate a
CUDA GPU machine to it for my employer, and found that due to
miscellaneous problems with Wayland, Gnome 3, systemd/DNS, etc., it was
necessary to revert to backups of the previous install. Just an
amazingly broken mess.
