Ssh no gui! only command line how do i get gui?

New install with Raspbian. Headless but ssh enabled. Cannot get to GUI

I don’t think you can. I know you can get single windows, but not the whole desktop. I couldn’t really tell you how, though. Your google is as good as mine.

sudo apt install x11-apps

fixed the problem for me on Ubuntu 22.04 (Linux localhost 13 6.1.11-meson64 #23.02.2 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 18 00:07:55 UTC 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux)

Rest assured ssh -X works fine with Armbian.

It took a few tries because the Libre Computer version is different from Intel/AMD Ubuntu 22.o4.

In case it’s needed, I also pulled the rest of my package installs from my history on the potato in case something else that should work doesn’t.

sudo apt install nmap
sudo apt install pcmanfm
sudo apt install vifm
sudo apt install nfs-common
sudo apt install x11-apps
sudo apt install ntpq
sudo apt install systemd-timesyncd
sudo apt install vlc
sudo apt install mpg123
sudo apt install ffmpeg
sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio
sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get -y autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get clean && sudo sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
sudo apt install pulseeffects
sudo apt install -y lsp-plugins
