So, I wanted to play with Linux on a different box, so I installed Ubuntu Server 7.10. But I'd like to be able to Start KDE to do somethings from time to time. I typed in "apt-get install KDE". (I also did kde-core, kde-desktop) I then typed startx after it finished and it gave me:
"xauth: creating new authority file /home/user/.serverauth.15899
X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting.
xinit: Server error."
So I thought that X wasn't installed. I typed "apt-get install x" and "apt-get install x11" to no avail.
Is there any reason that startx wouldn't startx? Am I missing something (like X)? Also is there any way to find out what a apt-get package's name is? Is there a listing of them ALL somewhere, on my computer? Else where? Searchable?
(Thanks. And yes, I'll look in to webmin and the like to my remote configuring needs.)
