[A√imas†i©™]

Hello,

I bought a machine from worldstream

but it has linux (Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit ) and I can't connect via remote desktop...

only via command-line..

is there any way to connect like remote desktop to install my programs (mysql/navicat etc)

and install my server there?

or can I do that with command-line? and if I can.. how?? because I am newbie with command-line...

please someone help me..

its so important for me..

 

Thanks a lot!!!

In order to connect to your linux dedicated server you must download PuTTY

Then you need to install a desktop enviroment through the command line.

 

I will show you how to install the desktop enviroment KDE for Ubuntu 11.04

 

Open Terminal and type the following commands (followed by your login password)

 

sudo apt-get update

 

sudo apt-get install kde-standard

 

To run it type these commands

 

startx

 

startkde

 

Also check those 2 guides

Using The Terminal

 

Ubuntu 11.04 Guide

 

I hope i helped you a bit

[Alexi]

there is some things you have to do to start kde heres a quick howto

 

sets in make.conf

INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev"

VIDEO_CARDS="your gpu-card" (google=gentoo howto xorg)

emerge xorg-server

emerge kdebase-startkde or emerge kdebase-meta or emerge kde-meta (light,medium,bigass=your 12 hours)

rc-update add hald default

rc-update add dbus default

if you running as root.

nano -w /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.

set a new first line with exec startkde

 

this is the things you have to do to start kde

if it dot work with this its your gpu-card settings that fails

 

type nano -w /var/log/Xorg.0.log

 

and send the lines that starts with (ww)
