You will find the main menu in the top left corner. They are also likely to be completely bare bones and not install any additional applications.Ī minimalist windowing environment designed for power users who like to navigate using the keyboard. I consider these GUIs “light weight” because they use the least amount of disk space – generally, less than 200 MB. installed as a guest in VirtualBox 4.1.16.bare minimum Ubuntu 12.04 Server – no additional packages installed.For example, if you already have Openbox installed on your system, installing Fluxbox or Blackbox will only add a few MB to your hard disk – not ~100 MB each. If required libraries and components are already installed on you system, they do not need to be reinstalled. The amount of disk space taken up may vary depending on what you have installed on your system. GUI options can be divided into three groups: light weight, medium weight, and heavy weight. Unfortunately, that defeats the purpose of having installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 in the first place – you may as well have installed Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop to begin with. Most sites recommend installing the ubuntu-desktop. Again, there are many options, I only recommend a few of them. The window manager is responsible for the way the actual display looks and interacts with the user. Even if a package installs a display manager, you can always add unity-greeter to the installation code to get the Ubuntu style login screen. If you want to have an Ubuntu style login screen, then install unity-greeter instead of lightdm-gtk-greeter (most of the instructions I give use the lightdm-gtk-greeter if the package does not automatically install a display manager).
There are many display manager options, but I recommend lightdm-gtk-greeter or unity-greeter. The only thing users notice about the display manager is the login screen. The display manager manages the graphics server (but this is all behind the scenes). Installing xserver-xorg accounts for about 66 MB of the size totals given below. The only option here is xserver-xorg (eventually, there is hope that wayland will be an alternative to X). Nothing it draws has any meaning or significance to it. To get a GUI running you need three things: NOTE: Ubuntu Server is a pure command line driven system – at least until you add a GUI
