    apt-get kde

    So, I wanted to play with Linux on a different box, so I installed Ubuntu Server 7.10. But I'd like to be able to Start KDE to do somethings from time to time. I typed in "apt-get install KDE". (I also did kde-core, kde-desktop) I then typed startx after it finished and it gave me:

    "xauth: creating new authority file /home/user/.serverauth.15899
    X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting.
    xinit: Server error."

    So I thought that X wasn't installed. I typed "apt-get install x" and "apt-get install x11" to no avail.

    Is there any reason that startx wouldn't startx? Am I missing something (like X)? Also is there any way to find out what a apt-get package's name is? Is there a listing of them ALL somewhere, on my computer? Else where? Searchable?

    (Thanks. And yes, I'll look in to webmin and the like to my remote configuring needs.)

      If you're running Ubuntu/Gnome, the full Kubuntu suite is available by installing the "kubuntu-desktop" meta-package. I'm told you will then have a boot option to either choose Gnome or KDE.

      Hope this helps!
