Install Graphical User Interface GUI in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise

By Umair Friday, June 01, 2012





First you need to make sure you have enabled Universe and multiverse repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list file once you have enable you need to use the following command to install GUI
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

The above command will install GNOME desktop

If you want to install a graphical desktop manager without some of the desktop addons like Evolution and OpenOffice, but continue to use the server flavor kernel use the following command
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop

If you want to install light weight desktop install xfce using the following command
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

If you want to install KDE desktop use the following command
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
