If it makes a difference, I am using Ubuntu 12.04

Thanks Britgirl for your reply.

The reason why I have posted here is because when I install a different DE and try to connect using NoMachine, it just loads Unity again. I cant figure out how to have NoMachine connect and use Lubuntu DE instead. So once I solve the installing a DE, I will then need help solving how to connect using the new DE.

I typed the first command : sudo apt-get install –reinstall lubuntu-desktop and I received this error:

desktop@Server1:~$ sudo apt-get install \u2013reinstall lubuntu-desktop

[sudo] password for vdesktop: 

Reading package lists… Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information… Done

E: Unable to locate package -reinstall

 

So I then tried this command instead: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop and it worked. Is this command ok to use? or do I need the “-reinstall” in the command?

 

I typed the second command : sudo apt-get autoremove –purge ubuntu-desktop</span> and I received this error:

vdesktop@Server1:~$ sudo apt-get autoremove \u2013purge ubuntu-desktop

Reading package lists… Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information… Done

E: Unable to locate package -purge

 

What should I do?

How do you re-install NoMachine using terminal?

Thanks @kroy for your reply and easy instructions.

I have entered all 3 commands but now I cannot login to the server.

I am receiving the error code: “The NoMachine service is not available or the access was disabled”

How do I connect to the server again?

Thanks
