How to install GNOME server on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Lucid
After some upgrades of Ubuntu from 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.04.2, I faced
problems during
apt-get upgrade && apt-get
dist-upgrade
I had to fix it up with
apt-get upgrade -f , however the
"fix" which was targetting a fix up to the
apt-get
dist-upgrade removed about 260 packages, among which were the
grub boot loader ,
xorg-server and even
gnome
As in order to fix the package mishap the
apt-get update -f
was my only possible solution I went by and confirmed that I would
like to wipe out all the packages.
Logically afterwards it was required that I install my missing
xorg-server and gnome in order to make the Ubuntu desktop work
again.
Here is how:
ubuntu:~# apt-get update && apt-get xorg-server
ubuntu-desktop
The
ubuntu-desktop is a meta package which installs the
GNOME environment.
