As the installer would, but not quite the full set of packages.

Code: Select all

apt install mate-desktop-environment-extras
Will give you the complete set.

OP, since this is a fresh install there may be more wrong with it than appears, based on what you say about lxde not installing. I'd suggest that the quickest, and best solution is to format and re-install. The installer will give you the opportunity to choose a desktop environment (or more than one although I don't recommend this) and will install correctly for you. If you chose MATE then you can add the extras package later.

Answers say I can select a gui during installation. Have you tested
this iso?

When I install debian 9 iso then I get to select software to install. I did not
notice this option during installation of debian 10 rc.
There was a window saying I should select a mirror. But there was
no option to select a mirror. I can install again if you think you
get to select a gui during installation.
tasksel command to select
Does not open a window.
messages do you get when you run apt update?
Abbreviated it says
please use apt cdrom buster release does not have a release file. updating from
repository disabled by default. apt secure repository creation and
user guration.

su
nano /etc/sources.list displays nothing.
you ping an IP address or a domain name?
I ping google.com.

Yes, I installed a fresh Debian buster system yesterday using the RC1 installer.

I saw the tasksel screen but I didn't select any of the desktops so I can't confirm if it actually works but it definitely asked me.

The tasksel command opens an ncurses interface in the terminal window (as Garry's screenshot shows), did the command return any error mesages when you ran it?

Try

Code: Select all

su -
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Then remove the CDROM lines and add some http repositories.

Now save the file and run

Code: Select all

apt update
apt install tasksel
tasksel
deadbang

My mistake. Likely the ethernet did not work during installation. I reinstalled
on another computer. And graphical user interface selection
menu displayed. Because debian would not start
on the computer it got installed on, I moved the hdd to another
computer and then it started. Maybe
it is about uefi. Thank you.
