On Ubuntu server, how does one install a graphical interface?

In ubuntu, you can click a button to perform operations on a GUI. The following describes the entire process of installing the graphic interface of ubuntu server. The test is completed in ubuntuserver10.04.

1. to connect to the network, you must ensure that the network is smooth. If you use wireless like me, first find the root network cable, because the following installation must download the components through the network

2. The command for accessing the graphic interface is startx. After hitting it, a prompt is displayed for installing xinit.

 
 

  
  
sudo apt-get install xinit 
 
 

After installation, the terminal is changed from black to white. The X-type mouse pointer appears.

3. Install the Environment Manager

If you like gnome, use sudo apt-Get install TPD

KDE and xface users are changed to KDM and xdm respectively.

I first installed Kde, and then installed gnome on the KDE terminal. The two can also be well integrated.

4. Install the desktop environment

Sudo apt-Get install Ubuntu-Desktop

If you only want to install the core environment of the interface or compare the network speed, you can

Sudo apt-Get install gnome-core or kde-corexface4

5. If you have installed core, you need to do the following:

(1) install the new software package manager

Sudo apt-Get install gsynaptic

(2) install the wireless Internet access module (if needed)

Sudo apt-Get install network-manager *

(3) install Chinese support (display Chinese)

Sudo apt-Get install language-support-ZH

(4). Select Chinese Input Method support and Chinese interface support from the new software package manager.

(5). Use the new software package manager to install other software you want.

6. Restart to display the graphic login interface.

PS:

Cancel automatic GUI startup:

 
 

  
  
#update-rc.d-fgdm remove 
 
 

After the desktop is restarted, the desktop can be started with startx.

Restore GUI Automatic startup:

 
 

  
  
#update-rc.dgdm defaults 
 
 

Summary:

We hope that the Ubuntu server GUI installation method described in this article will be helpful to readers. more knowledge about Linux systems remains to be explored and learned by readers.
