I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 in a Virtual Machine. It installed correctly but the problem is that the Graphical User Interface (GUI) does not start. I only get the command prompt where I can login.
Any advice how I can get the GUI in VMWare?

1How did you install Ubuntu? What ISO file did you download?– Mitch ♦Jun 28, 2012 at 13:52

I am also finding same problem. I installed Ubuntu on VM ware using ISO and then I am getting command prompt login. You can use "startx" command to get GUI. But every time you need to type "startx" command to get GUI. So I am also searching for solution for this. But this might help you.– user173201Jul 7, 2013 at 3:09

Once you log in to the command line, check the logs in /var/log. Specifically, check Xorg.0.log, although any recently-updated log might be helpful.
