I am trying to install kubuntu-desktop on my Ubuntu 19.04 distro which is dual booted on a laptop.
I have tried sudo apt-get update before and after installing tasksel.
Other tried things - sudo dpkg --configure -a, tried removing orphan libraries using gtkorphan. I have read similar questions here completely but none of them helped.
I tried to remove samba-server with this command (sudo tasksel remove samba-server) and every app even the system apps are deleted and now xubuntu is stuck at boot, just showing loading. What should I do?
Did tasksel deleted my files too?
If you forgot to select some software at the "Software Selection" screen on a fresh install, what are the commands to install them after the fact. I know you can install them manually at anytime after everything is said and done, but what are the commands to install just as if you [*]starred them on that screen.
For instance:
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
will install the LAMP Server. What are the commands for the DNS Server, Mail Server and Tomcat Java server?
I recently downloaded an Ubuntu 9.10 virtual appliance for VMWare and want to install a LAMP server on it. Normally, I would just sudo tasksel install lamp-server but that seems to just return without doing anything. So I tried sudo tasksel to bring up the list of packages. But this list only includes three options... Print server, Ubuntu desktop and Manual package selection. I thought maybe it was in Manual package selection but I didn't see it. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu (and linux in general) so I'm not sure where to go next. The only posts I've found about missing options in tasksel says it just suddenly started showing additional options the next day...
Why don't I have all the options I usually do (like LAMP server)? How can I get these options back?
I've recently heard of tasksel, a tool that "installs multiple related packages as a co-ordinated "task" onto your system". What is the difference between using tasksel and installing meta packages via apt-get? What does it do that meta packages can't accomplish?
