I don't think Ubuntu comes with a GUI installed...

benzimm86 · 09-02-2005, 08:19 PM

so how do you install one

when i type in startx at ben@ben:~$
i get -bash: startx: command not found

I have no idea, If I were you I would download Mandrake 10.1. Comes with the GUI preinstalled

By default, it should come with GNOME and Xorg. I don't know why it's not running...

If it came with GUI preinstalled, then it would load automatically like windows.

Unless your run level is set to something else, but even then startx would start KDE or GNOME.

make sure you have everything corect in your xorg.conf...

is it giving you a no screen found error something along those lines when you startx?
