How to install a minimal Xfce4 GUI on Ubuntu Server 16.04?
I'm building a NAS for my home with Ubuntu Server 16.04.
I would like to know what is the best way to install a very minimal Xfce4 graphical user interface on it in order to complete some frequent tasks on my server easily without using the CLI.
I thought to give the following command:
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends xorg xterm xubuntu-desktop xubuntu-icon-theme menu gksu xfwm4-themes xfce4-terminal xfce4-taskmanager xfce4-datetime-plugin xfce4-power-manager xfce4-xkb-plugin xfce4-indicator-plugin xfce4-volumed firefox
Is that correct? Is there anything I forget or something unnecessary?
Solution 1:
if you try with
sudo apt-get install xfce4 --no-install-recommends
and you will get a minimal instalation for ubuntu desktop xfce4
good luck
Solution 2:
apt-get install xfce4
. It work for me.
