    [Solved] How install Xorg and a windows manager on Ubuntu server?

    Today i installed Ubuntu server 12.04 (64 bit edition) and i want install Xorg and a windows manager as icewm but when i make:
    apt-cache search Xorg
    apt-cache search icewm
    i don't find anything.
    Where i'm wrong?

    As you can see there isn't anything wrong:
    # See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
    # newer versions of the distribution.
    deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted
    deb-src http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted

    ## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
    ## distribution.
    deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted
    deb-src http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted
    ...
    but don't work.
