Here is a transcript from the screen of about a half of the lines
displayed (offhand, I do not know how to capture the response and get
it from the other machine to this one):
X.Org X Server 1.20.4

Current version of pixman: 0.36.0

Anyway, it *maybe* sounds like X isn't installed. I would try
"apt-get install xorg". If that actually installs a bunch of stuff,
then the guess was correct.
And, if X isn't installed, then it's possible that your chosen desktop
environment isn't installed either. So you might need to install that
as well.
I installed via my local approx server, so I presume the easiest approach
is a fresh netinstall.
I routinely install via text-mode rather than GUI, and EXPERT mode.
