How to start GUI from command line?
If you tried the command startx
, but the error command not found
was returned, then to install a graphical desktop, in case it is not installed, you would type this:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
Try to use startx
in your tty , if it does not work on one terminal try Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6 in order to switch a new tty
I have had the same problem. The solution is to install X.org
and the Ubuntu Desktop. Also, don't forget the build-essential packages:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
You might have to install X.org
separately, but also take advantage of this command line because (for my situation) Ubuntu kept trying to use my display port.
