How to install X11/xorg?

Question

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?

Answer 1

Please refer to ServerGUI.

The answer is to use this commands in terminal:

sudo apt-get install xorg openbox

Answer 2

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
