How to install X11/xorg?

My 12.04 x64 system won't boot into GUI, but I can still use virtual console with my own account, so apparently it's the Windows Management System that's causing it, how can I reinstall it from tty, what's the apt-get command?

Please refer to ServerGUI.

The answer is to use this commands in terminal:

sudo apt-get install xorg openbox 

X11 Client Installation

To do this, install the xauth pachage, then install the applications you need, and apt-get will bring in other packages as needed to satisfy the dependencies.

sudo apt-get install xauth 

X11 Server Installation

To install a minimal X11 on Ubuntu Server Edition enter the following:

sudo apt-get install xorg sudo apt-get install openbox 

If you certainly have run into this problem , type in the following commands:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install fxlrg sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg sudo apt-get install xorg sudo apt-get install xorg openbox sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop 

and you are good to go. The statements from top to bottom are dependencies to the statements after them.

do nothing. just relax. And if you don't find out how to install, I will tell you:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install xorg 

I solved the problem using:

sudo aptitude install xorg 

then say 'yes' to the updates.
