    Multiple problems: Ubuntu Server

    First problem:

    apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop
    Reading package lists...
    Building dependency tree...
    Reading state information...
    Package ubuntu-desktop is not installed, so not removed
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

    I have installed Ubuntu desktop on Ubuntu Server to get Boinc manager running. Now I want to remove Ubuntu-desktop.


    Second Problem:

    /etc/init.d/xorg start : No such file or directory

    When the server boots i get a blinking cursor.

    ubuntu desktop is just a package that depends on everything else that makes up a default ubuntu desktop install, removing the package won't remove all the other things

    what are you trying to do with that command? that doesn't exist afaik
