Install Ubuntu Desktop from Ubuntu Mini?

  • 772

I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 from PXE, using the linux & initrd.gz files and I'd like to update it to Ubuntu Desktop (with unity, the shopping len and everything in between).

I've heard that I can do it by installing the 'ubuntu-deskop' meta package, however I wonder if anyone has actually done it and if that's enough to get an identical Ubuntu installation as if I had installed it with the LiveDvd.

Thanks in advance.

    If you want to get the complete Ubuntu desktop then you have to do as

    sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

    If you would like to get only the Unity then sudo apt-get install unity is enough .

    So if you have install with ubuntu desktop command as given , then all these packages will installs in your PC .
