Hi Tony, first-time viewer, but THANK you so much.
Obviously, I'm a NuBe.
I'm trying to get ready for the delivery of my first RippleD Node.
I have been a Server Admin for 12 years, but my last interaction with Linux was 11 years ago... :)
Anyway, thanks again!

Happy New Year Tony! Thanks a lot for this great video. I am trying to install the desktop Display Manager after entering the command: sudo tasksel.
However, I got a list of options different from what you have on your screen on minute 2:46 and I see that I do not have on my list the options: Ubuntu Cloud Image and neither Ubuntu Desktop. Here below the options that I have:
1. Debian desktop environnement
2. GNOME
3. Xfce
4. GNOME Flashback
5. KDE Plasma
6. Cinnamon
7. MATE
8. LXDE
9. LXQt
10. web server
11. ssh server
12. laptop
Which one do you recommend me to install?
Thanks a lot for your precious help man! Very helpful your video
which one did you use, im facing the same issue?
Thank you Tony
You're welcome
Great tutorial as always, what’s is minimum VPS requirement for Ubuntu GUI and what have you used in this Tutorial?
what is VPS?
@@Abon963 Virtual Private Server or simply a remote server

Subscribed
Do you know why i cant type in firefox browser anything?
hi tony. when i use vncserver -list
there is no port and display and process seted up. how can i set up them?
Not sure why don't see the above options in tasksel. I get a very limited of choices.
😮 Larva Lamp 🤩
You forgot to tell, if it's a linux instance, we have to allow port in security group's inbound rules.
Thanks
Does anyone try to do this in a docker container? When I launch VNC all I get is the terminal window not the GUI
Running tasksel gives me a very different set of choices. I'm on Ubuntu server 20.4. Unbuntu desktop is not an option given by tasksel. Any ideas?
Same here, i guess tasksel may not support ubuntu any more (?)
You get this figured out? This didn't work for me either
me on deb 11 with this working despite using a diff os
How to get back to CLI to GUI in 22.04.1 LTS i tried many ways but didn't get back to gui is any data loss please help me after tasksel it won't getting and dsconfg what should I do
When I use sudo reboot, the vnc closes, how do I activate it again?
@Tony, Thanks for this. However I have issues after installation. It's laggy
Sometimes it can be laggy if there is no GPU
UNABLE TO LOCATE PACKAGE?
Im constatnly getting this across multiple packages. I have an EC2 instance ubuntu-jammy-22.04-amd64-server-
Is it ok and safe to leave the vncserver running all the time?
For some reason my pi wanted to install debian after hitting tasksel
i keep getting couldnt start session , please help
Why are we creating a new user? I did this and the user ended up with a partition on the server and absolutely no space left in the partition.
Thanks.

Connection was refused by computer ?
i can't see anything when i put vncserver -list on my ubuntu server , why
I am getting Black screen , any solutions for that
I am getting timeout when connecting to the server
if u killed it how do u start it back up?
Hey Tony .. I am unable to connect to tiger vnc-server and it says "Timed out waiting for a response from the computer' . May I know how to fix this ?
hey do you solved your problem? i have the same problem
apt install tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-xorg-extension tigervnc-viewer
I can't manage to open any chromium-based browser I install
Did anyone else come across that issue?
I follow the step to set Slim & tasksel... but I always not able to get into GUI panel after reboot?? What's going on?
Were you able to solve? Same thing happens to me with ubunutu 22.04
Change version Ubuntu install 20.04 and you will have the solution
ssh no tigervncserver '-localhost=1'' failed: 65280
On my terminal it shows this
Can you instead of a GUI on the server, use RDP? Keep the server headsless but run the GUI apps on the remote client?
I know how to use RDP with a GUI server, just wondering if the host actually needs a GUI?
The vnc he used IS a kind of RDP. RDP doesn't run apps, it just streams the UI from the remote server to your computer and streams your input back. If he didn't install the GUI, RPD would show him console.
I keep getting to "preparing to configure network-manager" and it just stops. What am i doing worng here?
This is a cool video, but I have a web hosting server that is headless. Can I install gui on that?
Yes you can, this video will help you do that
Can you please make a video where we can do this using the Windows Remote Desktop Mac App? I think it would look much better visually.
Ive made everything like you, 2 times and still have "Timed out waiting for response from a computer"... can someone help?
I had firewall on, thats why
Can this be used for running Selenium (say using Python) for a service that needs some Selenium based webscrapping?
I'm pretty sure it can
both slim and lightdm failed to install. Loads of unable to fetch errors on both.
You're not connected to the internet, DNS is not setup or your packages are out of date.
What about if you get to "preparing to configure network-manager" and then it just hangs? @@tek87
Sir, i have three server, After Create DNS i want to divert Globally Traffic by Region, Like Asian Visitor divert on asian Server, African Visitor on African Server..... Already i'm Used this Service on Oracle Cloud, it's Very Costlly /
Sooooooo i want this Service on my own VPS, will you please tell How do i do this ??
Just use cloudflare?? its free
you updated to complete desktop ubuntu not good idea
kde + RDP imo
Terminated
This does not work! X connection to :1 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Same
I don't see any reason to not install a GUI on a server for maintenance purpose, so long as you shut it down after you're done setting things up. If you're able to switch between running and not running a desktop environment, then avoiding to install a light weight one makes absolutely zero sense to me. It just seems like a stupid, purist mentality.
I dont have any sort of server thing, just ubuntu server is the only distro that installs on a raid array
Restarting services...
Service restarts being deferred:
systemctl restart networkd-dispatcher.service
systemctl restart unattended-upgrades.service
No containers need to be restarted.
No user sessions are running outdated binaries.
No VM guests are running outdated hypervisor (qemu) binaries on this host.
@Tony please help me for understanding the above issue I'm getting
Thanks
