Hi there!
I have installed 12.04 64-bit on a new HDD with some volumes set up with LVM, but the install did not successfully complete the "Select and Install Software" step. I tried to find out where it failed, but couldn't, so I just went on to the next step (Grub)...
(I have previously had 11.10 installed on another HDD, which is disconnected right now until I get this set up.)
So I had a system I can boot and log in to, but with no graphics. After trying several things, I thought maybe the problem is that I'm missing some of the packages that should have been installed originally...
I installed a few things, including the nvidia-current, xorg-server and ubuntu-desktop and after a reboot I got a graphical desktop - yay :)
So, how can I find out what I'm missing, and is there a definitive list of ALL of the default packages, so I can install all of those now?
Thank you in advance!
