Not getting GUI mode on ubuntu 12.04 desktop edition after installation on vmware workstation 7

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 desktop edition on my PC using VMWare workstation 7. I assigned 1GB RAM and 20 GB Hard disk to Ubuntu.

While starting Ubuntu virtual machine, It is not starting up with GUI mode. In is prompting me my Login ID in textual mode always. After waiting for long time as well the GUI mode is not appearing.

I tried running sudo apt-get install updates sudo apt-get install xinit sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Honestly, i don't know the meaning of all these.I am very new to ubuntu.Please help me here what to do?

Below is my Laptop configuration OS: Genuine Windows 7 Home Basic(64 bit) RAM: 3 GB Processor: Intel core i3

You may try sudo lightdm, startx, sudo startx, or sudo gdm in that order of preference(Use the first that works). You may then try to set it up as the last entry in the system-wide crontab(See http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg28t5.htm)

Today I installed the 12.04 version and found the same problem as no GUI was seen. But after running the command "startx"I got the solution.
