Uhmm nice but this will replace your server kernel with the generic kernel. You want to keep the server kernel if you want a server. Otherwise you should have installed desktop version anyway?

[billynightmare]

this is just what i needed to know super thumbs up from me!!

[ebawazir]

how do you kill the Gnome and use server?

[kyral210]

Tip: Make sure you are online and running before trying to add an interface.

[ms0manbearpig]

it says sudo-apt isnt a command, please help

[tunadudeman]

@ms0manbearpig 'sudo apt-get'

[MasterPebsie]

@ms0manbearpig It's 'sudo apt-get' not 'sudo-apt' ;)

As soon as I get my Ubuntu server up and running I will be following your instructions and adding a GUI to my system. I wonder why Ubuntu server doesn't come with a GUI as standard? Sure it loses disk space, but its a tiny amount compared to the rest of the system. Well, nevermind, thanks!

Hi, I installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 x64 on Virtualbox to test it out. However, after the installation and it asked me to remove the disc and continue to reboot, when the the server restarted I am on the CLI with the yellow shell.

It looks like this:

Shell>

Does anyone know what's the problem with my installation?

Thanks

[xxmrbloodxx]

@123456iambelial for a starter did you remove the disk?

[yahanwiwi]

Wow is real simple, I've been searching all day for a tut like this. You should add more tags so more people can find this. This was really helpful thanks.

What programm do you use to connect to the server in this video ?

[bluesmoke21]

@ReloadedInfinity In the video he is using VMWare virtual machine. To connect to a real server you can use Putty and connect via SSH, or telnet (not recomended). I think SSH server is installed by default on Ubuntu Server, if not: sudo apt-get install ssh , and further you must set it up, check Ubuntu Server Documentation from Ubuntu website!

[ReloadedInfinity]

@bluesmoke21 Yes, the SSH terminal is installed by default and im connecting via Putty. I did exactly what they said on several guides, but it just doesnt work. But ok, everything else is working so this is not a big problem. But thank you ;)

[bluesmoke21]

@ReloadedInfinity Oh you mean that you want to see the desktop. Well you can't see the desktop through SSH, that is only for CLI, not GUI. In order to see the desktop I think you need a program that is caled VNC (Remote Desktop). Or some other remote desktop software. I tryied all that in Virtual Box, and everything works just fine, you only need 3 commands: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, sudo reboot, and that's it. (I don't know about VNC, check Google)

[ctechreviews]

Thx soo much man! I am very good with using a standard terminal, however i hate the fact that some applications are so time consuming with the terminal so i now use the GNOME desktop!

[rickytechlabs]

work the same with ubuntu server 10.10

[CaptainNguyen]

You forget upgrade first.

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo get-apt upgrade

then

sudo get-apt install ubuntu-desktop

[Surudzic]

doesn't work! Fuck you man!!!

[bbmmx2]

ok, here we go,

i have a new linux ubuntu VPS, but it's new for me!

when i try: sudo apt-get update, he gives me a message that the command doesnt exist!

[F22L3]

@bbmmx2 Change to directory /bin

[hansfase]

Worked perfect. Thanks man!

[VideoKalanag4]

*Sigh* For my home solution, this i useless.

There was a reason for installing Server, and not Desktop Ubuntu.

Dislike.

[LiveYourDigitalLife]

Does it really work? I only saw the ubuntu loading page in your vid and not the taskbars and stuff :/

[H4x0r18]

Thanks man very helpful!

[RouterMods]

No problem. If you have any other ideas for walkthroughs let me know

[DorianDeLuca]

@RouterMods How about a walkthrough for creating Samba shares on a Ubuntu Server that can be accessed by Windows computers in an Active Directory domain without being asked for credentials?

[samotar1]

@RouterMods how about a tutorial on setting you network to DHCP?
