Unfortunately I am stuck in tty1, I thought that the GUI was on tty7, but I have forgotten how to get there. I thought it used to be CTRL ALT F7
If you have a display manager (xdm, gdm, kdm, lightdm, etc) installed, it will start up automatically and give you a graphical login.
I have a system, now, but not usable by me at this stage.
Did you install gnome or kde (or xfce or whatever desktop environment you prefer)? And all the GUI apps you intend to use? This may be because you chose to do a "server" install. I have no idea what Ubuntu actually means by that, but I'd guess it doesn't include X or other GUI stuff because they're generally not needed on "servers". But it's not a big problem, nothing to worry about. You can always apt-get install whatever you need, whether you chose a "desktop" or a "server" install. It's the same OS, just with different programs installed by default. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
