The version of X used in Debian is derived from the version released by the X.Org Foundation, and is thus often also referred to as “X.Org”. All of the preceding quoted terms are functionally interchangeable in an Debian system.
There are three ways to install x11-common on Ubuntu 22.04. We can use apt-get , apt and aptitude . In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Introduction
This guide discusses the use of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and/or desktop environment on Ubuntu servers. Conventional wisdom states that in most cases it is better to not install a GUI on a production server. Several preferable user interface alternatives for managing servers are presented.
Arguments Against a GUI
Most Ubuntu Server developers recommend not installing a GUI on a server. There are multiple reasons for not installing a GUI.
- You’ll have more code subject to security vulnerabilities, more packages that need updating, and more server downtime.
- Performance may suffer because resources (memory, hard disk space, CPU, etc.) will be consumed by the GUI.
- It is best practice to only install needed software on a production server.
- The GUI may include other network services that are inappropriate for a server.
So for the most secure server it is best to not install a GUI.
But there are many good alternatives for effective server management.
Byobu, Tmux, and Screen: terminal-based windowing
Note that Ubuntu server’s command line interface comes with a powerful window manager: the Byobu package which makes it easy to manage multiple terminal sessions. Byobu adds support for status bars, clocks, notifiers (reboot-required, updates-available) etc. The screen program underneath byobu has been in all versions of Ubuntu. Tmux is a nice replacement for screen, and is now used by default in byobu. Screen-profiles (the previous name for byobu) is in Jaunty by default, though the binary package will install and work in Hardy and Intrepid as well.
Server configuration management
Juju, Puppet, Chef, Landscape, Cassandra, Fabric, and a host of other remote configuration and management tools are very helpful for servers and can automate lots of tasks.
GUI Alternatives
Instead of installing a full GUI on an Ubuntu server, you might consider using a web based administration package such as Zentyal (formerly named eBox), ISPConfig or Webmin (although not supported any more, see why webmin is not supported).
X11 Client Installation
You may find it preferable to only run specific X11 clients on the server, and forward the X11 connections over ssh to display them on your desktop of choice. This way you avoid the need for an X11 server or desktop environment on the server itself. But note on the other hand that this opens up different vulnerabilities if the remote desktop can be compromised.
To do this, install the xauth pachage, then simply install the applications you need, and apt-get will bring in other packages as needed to satisfy the dependencies.
X11 Server Installation
To install a minimal X11 on Ubuntu Server Edition enter the following:
Next install a Window Manager:
Note: you can replace openbox with fluxbox, blackbox, etc.
Full Desktop Environments
To install the Gnome desktop on Ubuntu server Edition enter:
For Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and newer:
The end result will be very very similar to what you would get if you installed from the ubuntu, kubuntu or xubuntu CD and added server-related packages to it. But the kernel on the server CD is tuned better for the workloads you get when running as a server, e.g. by using the "Deadline" scheduler and less frequent clock interrupts.
Alternative:
If the above is giving you trouble, try the tasksel way.
(Warning: the following can remove packages that have been manually installed via apt-get.)
Then choose which package (e.g. Ubuntu Desktop) to install. Downloading the package will take a while (no progress bar for the download portion) so be patient.

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?

Please refer to ServerGUI.
The answer is to use this commands in terminal:
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.
X11 Server Installation
To install a minimal X11 on Ubuntu Server Edition enter the following:
If you certainly have run into this problem , type in the following commands:
and you are good to go. The statements from top to bottom are dependencies to the statements after them.
