    Question Invoking a GUI in Ubuntu Server?

    I'm sure there must be a way, but in standard config, it just shows up as command line.

    I need to be able to configure video devices in ZoneMinder, can't do it in terminal.

    Thanks for any help!

    You will need to install a GUI to run GUI programs, (something simple like openbox will do) or log into your computer from another computer using ssh with the -X flag.
