I had done
apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment
then
startx
gives an error along the lines of : "startx: unknown command."
Now I have also done
apt-get install gdm
apt-get install gnome
<wait a long time>
then, on boot gnome starts, I get a login window, do log in,
but am only given a blue screen without anything!!!
What to do?
