Ubuntu 16.04.4 unable to load desktop from eMMC

[yol...@gmail.com]

After flashing into the eMMC the last Ubuntu 16.04.4,

BBB boots up connected through HDMI to the TV, but no more than the terminal is shown at the display.

• Does Ubuntu include the desktop environment?
  
• If not, can it be installed easily? Which desktop is your recommendation?
  
• And finally, is it able to be installed into the eMMC?
  

Maybe some issue could be made by the power supply due to screen has no real colors but green one only.

Power supply should be 10W (5V, 2A), although I'm suspecting that is a fake of only 5W (5V, 1A).

BR!

Nope, that's up to you...

I was able to get lxde installed and running with Ubuntu 16.04 (i am booting from microsd though). The problem I ran into though with that is is that BBB boots with lxde and the login is for a guest account so the password temppwd does not work and i have no idea what the password is or how to change it. Once i figure that out I'll post the solution until then I would appreciate any help.
Cheers.
