What does it need to have graphical XFCE4 environment at startup in Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid)

November 14th, 2008 | by RoarinPenguin |

Taking short note so I’ll never forget this again ;)

  • apt-get install x11-common (if not already there)
  • apt-get install xfce4-session
  • apt-get install xfce4
  • …and naturally ;) apt-get install xdm

Should you need to set runlevel 3 by default (I wanted it), edit /etc/rc-default and replace lines running telinit 2 with telinit 3.

Reboot.
