Ubuntu Desktop in Console

[marco114]

When opening up console, is it possible to view Ubuntu Desktop (GUI) instead of command-line? I used standard Ubuntu 12 template and installed the Ubuntu Desktop package.. or do I need to run a separate vnc server to accomplish this?

Many thanks!
Marc

if you OpenVZ container, there is no GUI like you expect here. for more details about OpenVZ technologie, see http://openvz.org.

if you want a GUI like on a physical server, install Ubuntu as KVM guest OS, see http://youtu.be/0vG0t25wZEI
