Hey
Im new with linux and all, I recently installed Ubuntu 6.10. The thing I wana know is, how do I load up the GUI for Unbuntu? It always boots in text based. I dont know any commands yet for Linux, I will be learnin them next yr in my studies. So currently I just wana muck around with the GUI part. Thanks

Jump to Postdid you installl the wrong one?
theres a server one (no gui) and a desktop one. dont worry if you did- its all easialy fixable
if you did get the right one and the GUI isnt showing then it probably doesnt have the right
driver for your graphics …
Jump to Postyou can do (from command line)
apt-get update
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
This will download the required files to upgrade your system to the desktop version (although a clean install is probably better)
