    Thumbs down Start up graphical mode from Command Line mode

    Is it possible to instruct Ubuntu to start up (GUI) Graphical User Interface mode from (CLI) Command Line Interface mode? In the old days, you can type "win" in DOS to get into Windows - something along that line. Is it possible for Ubuntu in this case?

    Yes, you can reboot to switch between the modes, but shouldn't there be a command for this?

    startx, xwmconfig to swap from GNOME to KDE to openbox, etc.
    I had to do it.
