Trying to install Gnome on Xfce (Buster)
by jspelts from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BPCM)
Well, I did say I wanted to learn Linux the hard way... Ha!
I installed Buster not knowing that an internet connection was needed to install the Gnome desktop. So I ended up with Xfce after the USB install. Was finally able to connect to Wifi (Thanks, Evo2!). Now I'm trying to install Gnome but having difficulty.
I tried sudo tasksel install desktop gnome-desktop, but it kicked out an error. A little research showed I needed to comment out a cdrom line in my sources.list file. Here's what it reads now
Code:#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.7.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64 xfce-CD Binary-1 20201205-11:17]/ buster main
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.7.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64 xfce-CD Binary-1 20201205-11:17]/ buster main
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates mainWhen I type in $sudo tasksel install desktop gnome-desktop, nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
