I was finally able to solve my problem by following this thread

I used all the commands listed on the first answer and it worked and for people who have trouble with this could possibly find the solution.

      @CollDue96 It appears to be a Windows XP theme for Lubuntu; it's not quite the same as actual Windows XP, the start menu has a Tux penguin, and there are shortcuts on the desktop to Lubuntu Software Center and LXTerminal

      The error message in your screenshot suggests you run 'start-pulseaudio-x11'
