Ubuntu server does not provide graphical user interface(By default) after installation. To enable graphics in ubuntu server we have to install a package called ubuntu-dektop. This package makes ready the system to be used in Graphical enviornment. To install it you should have the package in ubuntu server CD/DVD or have an internet connection. if you have package in CD/DVD then insert it in drive and then run following command:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
before running command make in ensure that you have uncommented(if any) the sources for update and install. if you have not checked then edit it in vi editor by using following command
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
check for all the lines mentioning sources and remove symbol hash(#) in front of them, if any.
save the file and exit and run the command to install ubuntu-desktop.
The package get installed in few minutes (depending upon the speed of your source media/Internet).
Restart the system. System will work in Graphics mode after restart
