Alt+F7 combination does not work. I need to install the necessary
desktop packages and then issue the Alt+F7 which might get me to the 
desktop.

sudo apt-get install (desktop package name)

My problem, which the package name to be issued.
apt-cache search also has the same problem. Isn't there a wild card or 
regular
expression to be used to seek out the names of packages in the console?
