I've had an Ubuntu server which started with 11.04 and has been running 12.04 for sometime.
I upgraded it to 12.10. after that the "startx" command ran calls that froze

So, I upgraded to 13.04

my xorg.conf file is the same

I"m also running Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop, dual booting on the same machine.
The xorg.conf file located at /etc/x11 is as follows. This works fine.
What do I need to do to install/start/run the gui in 13.04? thanks

If your running ubuntu-desktop, startx should default to it.

I run gnome-fallback so I had to create a .xinitrc in my home folder to run my desktop from the startx command. Maybe this would work for you. This is mine:

You will of course need to change it to the appropriate desktop command. If your running ubuntu-desktop, I think it should read:

exec ubuntu

Not sure about that though.
