Why did you install the server distro if you want a desktop one?

@ Soady : i have done a apt-get install ubuntu_desktop.. But i was wondering if i could get a .dep package for the desktop

islp2wrk,

So you can absolutely go and download the ubuntu desktop. I have provided the link below.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/ubuntu-desktop

HOWEVER, if you download it to install offline, you'll need to download all those dependency packages as well. Just FYI.

HTH,

Why not download the Desktop Distro .iso and burn a Live CD? Install from it rather than fafing about adding Gnome or KDE, etc, to the server install. It may take less time in the long run. Only a thought,
