Getting a GUI to work
Hey guys,
A while back I installed the newest stable verison of debian on my computer, and it worked pretty well. The only problem was that I couldn't get into anything that was gui-ish it was only command prompt. I am sure I put KDE and Gnome or one of them on the computer. But it still wouldn't go anywhere. What are the commands I need to get a GUI? Thanks for any help!! |
if you have installed Gnome or KDE as you said, then try running startx to launch X
|
Thanks, I'll try it out soon as I can
|
even though you have installed KDE and Gnome, are you sure you installed the x windowing system? My first time installing Debian, I just installed the desktop environment I was looking for at the time and forgot to install X.
If you havent' installed X, type apt-get install x-window-system and that should do the trick for you. After you've done that and configured everything you should be able to load your environment of choice. |
