As the title above, I am totally new to Linux. What I have now is a virtual hardisk with ubuntu and it started up as CLI. What I want to do is enable the graphic mode and able to switch it flexibly.



So, I wanted to install ubuntu-desktop due to the fact that Ubuntu only started in terminal mode and I couldn't get startx command to run too. The startx command ended up by open a CLI with white screen. Right now, I ran "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" but I dun know how to enable it or activate it.



Can anyone please kindly brief me about that? Between, my internet connection is bad, so that I wonder is there any alternative way in order to complete update or upgrade in this portion?



p/s: Currently my ubuntu ver is 12.04.1 and I dun think to have a clean install. Because I backup the ubuntu into virtual hardisk with some software well installed and also configured. The installers of those software are not with me. So what I can do is only troubleshooting or do some update or upgrade.



The snapshot on results of startx and Xorg.0.log attached as below:



Xorg.0.txt

I understand that you want to install this specific package (ubuntu-desktop) without an internet conection because yours it's slow.



Try to use the Ubuntu disc as a repository (to install the ubuntu-desktop package):
insert your ubuntu disc to reader then type:



sudo apt-cdrom add


This should add it to the sources.list file. Leave the disc inside the disc reader and then try:



sudo apt-get update



sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop


If you type:



sudo apt-get upgrade


It will upgrade the whole system.
