How to Install GNOME Desktop for Ubuntu 18.04

July 15, 2019 by Richard Vincenti Jr 2 Comments

If you have the base install of Ubuntu 18.04 installed without a GUI and would like to add the GNOME desktop to your install, then this is the guide for you!

First, you should always make sure your package lists are up-to-date by running the update command followed by the upgrade command:

  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Next, we recommend using Tasksel to install Ubuntu desktop. It’s a really easy way to get you up and running with a GUI and requires less commands. To install Tasksel use this command:

  • sudo apt-get install tasksel -y

After tasksel has finished installing, you can then run the application with sudo:

  • sudo tasksel

Finally, you can simply select Ubuntu desktop and select “OK” to install the GNOME desktop environment for your Ubuntu installation. Once the installation is complete, you can reboot your system and Ubuntu will start with a GUI.

Additionally, you may also notice that Tasksel has a good selection of other software collections that you can also install with this interface. Some options include DNS server, LAMP server, Samba file server and more.

How to Enable a Port on a Cisco Switch

May 28, 2017 by Richard Vincenti Jr 4 Comments

Need to enable a port on a Cisco switch? Look no further!

To begin you need to know what the name of the port is that you want to enable on the switch. This name or Port ID can be found by using the following command.network cables

#show interface status

This command will provide a list of your ports by ID.

For this example, we will use the port Gi1/10 for our switch.

Next, we need to enter privileged EXEC mode on the switch in order to issue the following commands.

To do this, type one of the following commands.

#enable

or

#en

Now, we need to enter configuration command followed by terminal to enter global configuration mode.

#configure terminal 

or

#conf t

Next, we tell the switch which interface to configure.

(config)#interface Gi1/10

Now you can assign the selected port to a VLAN. You can use whatever VLAN number you would like but for our example we will use VLAN 10.

(config-if)#switchport access vlan 10

Lastly, we want to bring this port (interface) up or enable it. To do use one of the following commands.

(config-if)#no shutdown

or

(config-if)#no shut

That’s it. Your port should now be enabled and assigned to the VLAN you choose. You can to this to any other available port on your switch. If you want to add other ports to this same network then simply repeat this process using your other port ID’s and assign them to the same VLAN.

If you would like to check on the status of the port (interface) that you just set up use the following commands.

Exit config mode by performing one of the following methods.

Use Ctrl-Z to exit configuration mode.

or

Type “exit” until you are out of configuration mode.

(If you followed this example you will likely need to enter the exit command two times in a row.)

Lastly, we can now show the status of the port(interface) you choose by entering the following command. We are going to stick with our example port for this command.

#show run interface Gi1/10
