My computer for some reason is no longer booting into the GUI. It sends me straight to the command line. How do I get it to launch the GUI and how do I get it to launch the GUI by default on startup? I'm using Lucid Lynx.

This may not serve as an answer (but I can't comment yet): when u login on terminal type startx and see if that starts GUI for you or as Roland said try sudo start gdm Once your GUI starts you can provide more details easily as Oli is expecting to fix starting directly in GUI. If none of those work then you may have to work on terminal and provide more details.

Best luck :)

I was able to get the login screen by running: sudo start lightdm

This was in Ubuntu 12.04.1 though so YMMV.
