Nano and Desktop GUI
Hi,
I am waiting for my Antsle One but in the mean time have been playing with Nano(I got this as part of the xmas special)...
I am a total newbie, so apologies to you all upfront. I want to run a ubuntu desktop(gui) on the nano, but this seems hard to do. I have followed a number on forum suggestions but I dont seem to be able to do it. I have setup an antlet with ubuntu 20.04(KVM), updated it to the latest levels and tried to install xfce4 with "sudo apt install xfce4". If issue is every time i try to click on the console button i only get the cursor blinking at me not the graphical interface. I have read other entries about installing VNC but for me no go.. Can anyone point me to a good document on for to do this(step by step) or list here, so i can get it going? I am sure i am doing something wrong(dumb) but was hoping someone for like to help..
thanks
Hi @kryten
This took me some time but I was able to get XFCE4 installed using our Ubuntu-20.04 KVM template.
Here's the code I used to update/upgrade the system and install XFCE4.
sudo su
apt update
apt list --upgradable
apt upgrade
apt autoremove
apt install xfce4
I chose "lightdm" but there's also "gdm3"
Reboot the antlet.
I've attached some screenshots of how my antlet looks like in the Console.

Thanks Daniel
I got it going
