For ubuntu you would need to install xserver-xorg or the meta package xorg, and of course gnome , kde or some other gui.

In console enter: sudo apt-get install xorg
then choose your window manager, the package kdebase will provide you with only essential kde programs as gnome-core will do for gnome, after that you will need a displaymanager to login, if you choose kde use kdm, and if gnome use gdm.
