GUI

[kbajwa]

Clive:

I tried:

$ sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop

After that I re-booted the system. Again boot gets me to the command line
(root at ubuntu:~#) but does not go to GUI.

I recall in CentOS or RH, after the initial install one use the 'startx'
command. Then modify /etc/inittab and change the 'runlevel' to '3' and then
re-boot the system. It startx the GUI.

FYI, I am using a:

Shuttle MN31N Motherboard with built in nForce 2 IGP Graphic Accelerator
(also integrated Geforce MX GPU).

Any other suggestion?

Please help>
