00:00hello everyone since we knew that max interactive desktop has different ways
00:07for installation between Ubuntu and Debian I made a video about installing it
00:14on Debian which may be uploaded before or after this video here I am trying to
00:21install it on Ubuntu I'm gonna use Ubuntu server it's not that different
00:26with Ubuntu except that it mostly doesn't have graphical user interface and
00:31some probably internal different configurations this will help me show you
00:37installing a desktop manager like GDM or LightDM so this is Ubuntu server 20.04
00:47there are some small differences between the different versions of Ubuntu when you
00:53want to install the max interactive desktop I need to make this with
01:04different network configuration in order to access it from my computer here since
01:09this is a virtual machine on my server that I'm viewing using VNC I need to make
01:20sure that it got a new IP address from my router and yes it got let's see if the
01:32SSH server is running yes it is from my terminal I should connect to it
01:50that's for my Debian machine
02:02the steps sound a little similar except that some packages are probably with
02:17different names which is weird for me so as usual it recommends the user to
02:24back up any old configurations of max interactive desktop in case you have
02:32older older one there are some system requirements that need to be met there
02:39are some commands that need to be run as root let's switch to root by running
02:44this command as suggested in the official docs of max interactive desktop there are
02:50other ways to switch to root I will go with the one that's mentioned here
02:56clear out the screen update the repo files after updating the repositories we should run the
03:12next command which is this one y and enter the first set of packages is successfully installed you can probably combine all the commands into one command or at least you can install all the required packages at once I'm gonna do so I believe that the docs separated between them to allow the user to choose which packages to install since I'm going to do so I believe that the docs separated between them to allow the user to choose which packages to install
03:41since some of the users may not want to install probably the audio packages the fonts etc
03:48let me just take all the packages names and put them all in one command for this one it's for Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 if you're using Ubuntu 24.04 you should switch directory into TMP and then download this
04:11package from security.upuntu.com and install it and for me I will go with this one for my version which is like that we should make sure that the spaces are there and this is the final command starting from here this is the command for installing all the packages combined in one command
04:41I will press enter y and enter here remember to get this package using wget I'm not running Ubuntu 24.04 that's why I don't need that I can simply install using this command
05:05command after installing all those packages whether whether for 22.04 20.04 or 24.04 which is different you're ready to install max desktop environment itself we switch directory to slash TMP download the script
05:33like this
05:36like this enter
05:39enter
05:40alright
05:41and then
05:43make the script directory by to mod
05:46you can do all of this as root or as a plain user
05:51here it tells to
05:54switch to root
05:56switch to root
05:57I am root already
05:58I am root already
05:59and
06:00we can run the script with this command
06:03like this
06:04after waiting some time
06:08and
06:09running the
06:10commands I showed you
06:12you should have a message
06:14saying that max desktop release octane etc
06:17has been installed successfully
06:19since we are on Ubuntu server we don't have any graphical user interface nor any desktop manager
06:25it's time to install
06:27it's time to install
06:28that
06:29first thing is to run apt install gdm or lightdm
06:36there are many others
06:38you can choose whichever you want like sddm etc
06:41look online for the different desktop managers
06:44and choose whichever you like
06:46I'm a go with lightdm since it's considered lightweight
06:50I would like to see which one has less dependencies
07:05let's see with sddm
07:10okay I would go with it
07:12why
07:13enter
07:14my sddm installation is done
07:17remember I run it as root
07:19that's why I didn't use sudo command
07:22and I'm still root
07:23so
07:24this command that I'm gonna run now
07:26is gonna
07:27change us from the CLI to GUI
07:31the command should be
07:32systemctl start
07:34gdm if you installed it
07:36which somehow I didn't find it
07:38as
07:42I didn't find it with the command
07:44or with the name gdm
07:46lightdm if you if you chose it or sddm
07:49we can enable sddm to start at every boot
07:55like this
07:57we can see now the changes taken effect
08:02we should choose the session here
