Hi, Seasoned/spoiled Microsoft IT person trying to make the switch. DL and installed Ubuntu Server 8.1, post install, GRUB error sent me to google and find super_grub_disk_0.9766 which I booted with, then ran to fix a boot error.
Seemed to work like a charm, its booting directly to the drive but alas, its all in text mode, (dos mode) It boots, loads all of the services, and sits at the web login. My credentials work fine but I want to get the desktop GUI that came with the install?
Can someone assist me in fixing it so it boots into a desktop environment?
I would be greatful... I can tell, this is going to be "all uphill" for me..
Thank you
