startlubuntu is not a registered x-session-manager option

[George Politis]

 When logging in via lxdm, startlubuntu session manager is used, set in /etc/lxdm/default.conf. This file is a symling to the real configuration file (man lxdm).

    sudo update-alternatives --config lxdm.conf

But when executing startx from the command prompt (say have disabled the graphical login), x-session-manager is used (by default startlxde on Lubuntu). It is natural to want to use startlubuntu, to load the same lxsession profile (http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXSession) but the startlubuntu option is not available

    sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager

workarround:
echo 'exec startubuntu' > ~/.xsession && chmod +x ~/.xsession

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is probably because for some reason startlubuntu was removed. See also this issue:
