Install LXDE for server environment (Ubuntu Server/Debian)

Given an server environment with Ubuntu Server or Debian (netinst) they came without a GUI (Graphical User Interface), then sometimes its need a GUI for help some complex (and boring) operations. So we choose to install LXDE as very light GUI. LXDE is a free desktop environment with comparatively low resource requirements.

To install on Ubuntu/Debian:

$ sudo apt-get install lxde xinit --in-install-recommends

To start as normal user:

$ startx

To start as root:

1.Configure the Interface wlan0

Add the following to /etc/network/interfaces

auto wlan0

allow-hotplug wlan0

iface wlan0 inet manual

wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

iface default inet dhcp

2.Configure wpa_supplicant

wpa_passphrase <ssid> > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Enter your wifi password at the prompt 

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B

3.Ask for IPAdrress

dhclient -r

dhclient wlan0

4.To make this change permanent at reboot, edit wpa_supplicant.conf and add the following - 

update_config=1

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={

                ssid=“YOUR SSID”

                psk=“YOU PASSWORD”
