Hi folks,

Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64

I have xserver-xorg and xfce4 installed. But could not start X.

You do not have the xfonts-base package installed, apparently.

(WW) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

And many other X packages are missing as well.

Please advise how to fix the problem. How to install font files?

I would suggest you to apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, (or the
appropriate xubuntu metapackage). It will pull in all the packages
necessary for a complete X setup.

If you think ubuntu-desktop/xubuntu-desktop will pull in too many
packages you do not desire, try just apt-get install xorg.
