So I added another server to my bedroom. This time, its a file server running Ubuntu Dappa with the Kubuntu Desktop environment. Let me tell you, she purrrssss….she is sooo damn sexy! This is one server that i will continuously go “ooga agga” over. See my screen shot below (and notice the time in the upper right hand corner of the pic).

Shivan Jaikaran was last seen just staring at the monitor

I set up an Ubuntu server home and tried installing the xubuntu-desktop GUI, but for some reason the GUI would start due to some screen resolution refresh rate error (I keep getting “Out of range”). So i was ultimately forced to remove xubuntu-desktop. Its NOT as easy as:

sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop

This will only remove the package dependency list. So i found this website but I had to customize the command a little. (If you have Ubuntu Edge or Dapper, check that website out). So for anyone out there who is trying to remove xubuntu-desktop only on Ubuntu Feisty, try these two steps:

Step 1 - Run this command:
