    Do you mean the screen is completely black and you can't see anything at all?

    Or do you mean you're left with a console login prompt and you're looking to have it start a graphical environment at boot?

    Ubuntu Server by default doesn't come with a graphical environment as far as I know.

    I'm pretty sure that reed9 is correct about the server edition not coming with a GUI. You can add one if you wish, but some server users consider a GUI on a server to be a security risk.
