How to install X11/xorg?












40














My 12.04 x64 system won't boot into GUI, but I can still use virtual console with my own account, so apparently it's the Windows Management System that's causing it, how can I reinstall it from tty, what's the apt-get command?

            X11 Client Installation



            To do this, install the xauth pachage, then install the applications you need, and apt-get will bring in other packages as needed to satisfy the dependencies.



            sudo apt-get install xauth


            X11 Server Installation



            To install a minimal X11 on Ubuntu Server Edition enter the following:



            sudo apt-get install xorg
            sudo apt-get install openbox

              If you certainly have run into this problem , type in the following commands:



              sudo apt-get update 
              sudo apt-get upgrade
              sudo apt-get install fxlrg
              sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core
              sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg
              sudo apt-get install xorg
              sudo apt-get install xorg openbox
              sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop


              and you are good to go. The statements from top to bottom are dependencies to the statements after them.

                do nothing. just relax. And if you don't find out how to install, I will tell you:



                sudo apt-get update
                sudo apt-get upgrade
                sudo apt-get install xorg

                  I solved the problem using:



                  sudo aptitude install xorg


                  then say 'yes' to the updates.
