[SOLVED] How to turn on the GUI service on a ubuntu server to make users login using

[Diana Rogger]

Hi everybody,

3 or 4 months ago I downloaded and installed ubuntu desktop using the command: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or something like that.

Yesterday I was busy to disable or turn off unnecessary services on my ubuntu server.

accidentally I select a service which is causing me to not see the GUI to log in anymore.

I also installed Webmin. When I turned of the service I was connected on an other computer using webmin.

Question:

Can anybody tell me how to start this service again using the terminal or using webmin?

Thank you in advanced,

Diana Rogger

the terminal command is:

sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start


To turn it back on permanently when booting:

sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
sudo update-rc.d gdm start 99 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 1 .

It is working now.
