Server + GUI installed, starting to get messy

  • 772

I installed Ubuntu server and then I wanted a GUI and I didn't want the server anymore. So I installed the GUI and every-time I restart my computer it goes to an Ubuntu loading screen which "loads" forever. I switch over to a virtual terminal and I execute startx which eventually gives me the login window. Unfortunately, when I tried to upgrade to 11.04 the update manager hanged for 20 minutes at (checking package manager) so I had to force reboot. I'm updating through the server command line and it's starting to get messy. I'm wondering if I could remove the server "part" or have to reinstall via the Live CD.

    I solved the issue; kinda. Ubuntu was wayy too slow on my harddware, so I am currently installing a desktop version of PPC Lubuntu:
