Step-by-Step Guide: Installing GUI on Ubuntu Server 22.04

Preparing Your Server for Jellyfin Installation:

Prerequisites

Before installing Jellyfin or other applications, it’s essential to have your Ubuntu server configured and ready. Here’s what you need to get started.

Prerequisites
Fresh Installation of Ubuntu Server 20.04

Begin with a clean installation of Ubuntu Server 20.04. This ensures that there are no conflicts or legacy settings from previous installations.

Reliable Internet Connection

Ensure your server has a stable internet connection, as you’ll need to download and update packages throughout the setup.

Preparing Ubuntu Server

To install Jellyfin or set up other applications, you may want to install a desktop environment. Here are the necessary commands:

Update your server packages:

sudo apt update

Install Tasksel (a tool for managing package collections):

sudo apt install tasksel

Install the Ubuntu Desktop Environment:

sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop

Install the GNOME Display Manager (GDM):

sudo apt install gdm

Note: If you encounter an “obsolete package” error at this step, you can simply reboot the server, as this often resolves compatibility issues.

Reboot the Server:

sudo reboot

After the reboot, your Ubuntu server will be ready with a desktop environment and updated packages. You can now proceed with further installations, including Jellyfin or any other applications you plan to deploy!
