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.
