Its trivial to install a desktop if that’s your requirement.

Good post and still relevant. What I don’t understand is after 4 years the installer still doesn’t have an option to install the GUI. I can handle the command line, but others in my company can’t and it is a hard sell to switch from a Windows server that is easy to administer to this without the GUI. Seems like a simple thing to add and like someone said, the default should be to include the GUI. Let’s start with it on-par with a Windows server and you can dumb it down if you are an expert and really want/need to.

That’s my 2-cents.

Hi there:

Thank you for this nice guide.
Wonderful job. very neat. very helpful.
I wish I had seen your page when I installed my ubuntu server and LAMP later.
I used the Ubuntu Server Guide to install mine, and used command line, but I am stuck with my LAMP server now.
I run apache2ctl configtest
Syntax OK

then I do
a2ensite mansour.net
…already enabled

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* restarting web server apache2
… waiting [OK]
root@ubuntu-server :~#

so far OK. but when I type mansour.net at my Win XP browser , I get DNS error.
I have an A Record for mansour.net in my DNS zone file exactly the same as what I type in URL.
Why do I not have a web site then?
I appreciate your help here.

Thank you

Mansour

Ubuntu apache server doesn’t connect in the local host..
In drupal how to connect Ubuntu apache server?…

Below error show in browser……….
Failed to Connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost.

Though the site seems valid, the browser was unable to establish a connection.

* Could the site be temporarily unavailable? Try again later.
* Are you unable to browse other sites? Check the computer’s network connection.
* Is your computer or network protected by a firewall or proxy? Incorrect settings can interfere with Web browsing.

Download - http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/i386/ubuntu-desktop/download

Presume you’re on x86, if not, select your architecture.

At the command line use dpkg to install

If you want to install GUI for Ubuntu, you have to install the ubuntu-desktop. Do this by:
sudo apt-get update

Then:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
which will install the gnome desktop, if you want the KDE desktop simply run:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
This will take some time so go out for a movie or something!

MySql did not start after basic installation.
Symptoms:
My box didn’t start MySql-service after basic installation. On the console at startup was this message:
Starting MySql Database server mysqld [fail]

System log at /var/log/syslog had this notice:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failed
error: ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2)’
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ exists!

Fix:
Remove the localhost’s address from /etc/mysql/my.cnf using nano editor like this:
Open my.cnf in nano by running this command at command.
“sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf”

Search (using Ctrl+W function) for “127.0.0.1″.
Add a “#” character to the beginning of the line. The line should like this:

# bind-address = 127.0.0.1

Save and exit by hitting these keys:
Ctrl+X
Y
Enter
