Install Ubuntu Server 18 With Cinnamon, KDE Plasma, and XFCE GUI Desktops

Written by:Greg BPosted on:

Install Desktop to Ubuntu Server 18

You want to run the following:

  1. sudo apt-get update
  2. sudo apt install cinnamon
  3. sudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop
  4. sudo apt-get install xfce4

Remove Desktop from Ubuntu 18

  1. sudo apt remove cinnamon
  2. sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:embrosyn/cinnamon

I prefer KDE Plasma and have XFCE loaded as an alternative. Cinnamon is not working for me. It loads into a black screen and I must reboot to recover. I suggest that you load as many as you wish then remove the ones that dont work or not to your liking.

Install Jenkins on Ubuntu 20

Written by:Greg BPosted on:

The Ubuntu installation was pretty seamless. Make sure you install Java 8 first, then update Ubuntu 20 and restart. Then visit the Jenkins Debian package site: https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/ for installation syntax. This Stack Overflow post was very helpful as well: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49937743/install-jenkins-in-ubuntu-18-04-lts-failed-failed-to-start-lsb-start-jenkins-a

If Nautilus file manager is not installed. Do the following: sudo apt install nautilus-admin : https://vitux.com/how-to-open-and-edit-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu-desktop-as-an-administrator/
