Can't run GUI, startx doesn't work on VPS
Hello,
So I installed Ubuntu 11.04 i386 on my VPS with standard procedure found on most tutorials out there.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop (later i tried with xubuntu-desktop but no luck)
sudo install xfce4 etc
But when I type startx I get this message and later I opened the log.
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)

I tried to connect remotely using VNC but no luck. I am pretty new in Ubuntu and all other Linux OS.
Thanks.
