command not found
 
I just installed ubuntu server 11.1 using vmware and then added the gui. When I go to finish with the command that I thought would start the gui it says "command not found". The command I am using is "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" and I have also tried "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart".

Try:
Code:
sudo service gdm start

Command not found means your path is not set up to sudo. Use to absolute path. /usr/bin/sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start

Which gui you added/installed? You installed Ubuntu on Virtual Machine, right? If it is so, then the GUI would have already been there. Isn't it?

Thank you all for your help. After working on it for quite some time I walked away, came back and "DUH" did a reboot. Works fine.
