I am confused here
Are you now running Lubuntu or are you running linux mint - cinnamon or
are you trying to install cinnamon DE on to Lubuntu, ?
Mint just works for the most part, and there is a additional drivers
application that will enable / disable any 3rd party drivers that are
non free. This is handy if say for example the video drivers start
causing issues you can install different drivers,
a good reason to have openssh-server enabled means if there are issues
you can ssh in with X forwarding (read man page on how to do this) and
try and fix from there.
