Installed Ubuntu on imac g3 logged in, but then what?
WHat do I do after logging on to Ubuntu
|
What do you mean?
Do you have a graphic interface or text only? |
Its text only right now
|
Issue the command 'init 5' (without quotes) to get to runlevel 5 (gui mode).
|
You need to set up xorg.
Please start by trying the following command: Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Cheers, Evo2. |

type sudo bash to become a super user.
then type apt-get install xorg and pray apt-get doesnt go haywire! |
I would wonder - Which version of Ubuntu did you install? -and- How much RAM memory have you got?
My G3 only had 128Mb of RAM and would only run "old" Xubuntu. |
I think you can install a fairly standard ubuntu desktop with the following command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install xorg gnome-desktop-environment You can find out with the command: Code:
free -m Cheers, Evo2. |
okay re tried everything and it keeps on saying xserver-xorg is not installed
or when I tried apt-get install xorg gnome-desktopenvironment it says Reading package lists ... done Building dependency tree ... done E: couldn't find package xorg also it says this is Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS Ubuntu tty1 And for evo2 bit says I have 249 |

I think perhaps the pacakge might be called xserver-xorg in that version of Ubuntu. So try: Code:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg gnome-desktop-environment Code:
apt-cache search something A good guide on these commands can be found at: www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ Cheers, Evo2. |
6.06 is no longer supported; I assume that therefore the repositories have been moved from where your install is looking for them.
Try Xubuntu 8.04 (not sure if it's available for your processor) |
Uhh still got couldn't find package xserver-xorg
I don't know how to use those commands so any other help? |
