Boot to command line after install from mini.iso

[MarekS]

After installing Ubuntu from mini.iso on a USB stick, choosing the Xubuntu desktop option, my PC boots to the command line.

How can I get a graphical desktop?

MarekS; Hello -

Setting up a system from Ubuntu mini.iso has a learning curve. :)

to start a installed GUI try terminal command:


startxfce4

as a 1st for things on the to-do list modifications.



my bit to try and help

[MarekS]

Thanks for that.

After
sudo apt install xfce4-session
installed 476Mb

startxfce4
was answered with
/usr/bin/startxfce4/: Starting X server
/usr/bin/startxfce4/: 118: exec: xinit: not found

[MarekS]

Did this:

sudo apt install xinit
startx

And I got a very minimal, almost empty desktop. But now I'm getting there.

MarekS; Welp -

Sticking your head down into the hole.
what is line number 118 in the file " usr/bin/startxfce4" pointing to ?

Bet there is more install and configs to do yet.

maybe have a looksee at:


less /etc/xdg/xfce/xinitrc




make the process to work

You will find there are many paths to "getting there".

A minimal install is just that - ya build your own, installing only what you want.

-all in what you want-
