I am totally new to ubuntu and I want my ubuntu desktop to be converted to a server. I searched the internet and got this:
sudo apt-get install tasksel
sudo tasksel remove ubuntu-desktop
sudo tasksel install server
apt-get install linux-server linux-image-server
apt-get –purge remove lightdm
Providing all that went well, you can edit your /etc/default/grub configuration file to update the following settings:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
( Comment out ‘GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT’ )
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”"
GRUB_TERMINAL=console ( only for PC )
sudo update-grub
When the grub update has finished, you can reboot into Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server!
But after removing the desktop i am not able to install the server.
Any suggestions? Are these queries correct?
