I have install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in an ARM device, but it comes without a Graphic User Interface. In another ARM device I managed to install a GUI (Ubuntu Desktop), but this device has less internal memory and can not be installed. So I have been looking for other alternatives such as LXDE, Enlightenment or Icewm. However in tutorials I have been looking for seems that the repositories needed are outdated.

For example while installing Enlightenment I get this error:

package enlightenment has not installation candidate

Then, when the installation of Icewn goes good, but when I try to lunch Icewm with sudo icewm I get this error:

$ sudo icewm
IceWM: using /home/ubuntu/.icewm for private configuration files
IceWM: Can't open display: <none>. X must be running and $DISPLAY set.

I don´t know why, my ARM device is connected to a VGA display.

The first error regarding package enlightenment has not installation candidate means either there is no package in the already installed repositories or you haven't updated them. So you need to either add the relevant PPA or updating your local database using apt update.

The second error clearly shows there is no Xorg on your system. So, simply install it using:

sudo apt install xorg
