Is it possible to have both or snakeoil permanently remove the original bone from the machine?

Although I'm not exactly sure why startx didn't work, but don't have enough information to go on to troubleshoot.

For what it's worth, you can always multi-boot different OS, that's the only way to "have both". You either boot LUbuntu and do your work, or boot to the Snakeoil OS to listen to music.
