How to recover Ubuntu from text mode?

  • 772

My Ubuntu no longer starts in graphical mode, it starts in text mode.

If I try to run startx I receive unable to connect to X server: No such file or directory

How can I reinstall XServer and Unity?

What apt-get remove and apt-get install should I follow?
