As the installer would, but not quite the full set of packages.Head_on_a_Stick wrote:This command will install the full MATE desktop as the installer would:

OP, since this is a fresh install there may be more wrong with it than appears, based on what you say about lxde not installing. I'd suggest that the quickest, and best solution is to format and re-install. The installer will give you the opportunity to choose a desktop environment (or more than one although I don't recommend this) and will install correctly for you. If you chose MATE then you can add the extras package later.
