As root, edit /etc/inittab
and set the runlevel to 4

Code:

# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:

Reboot

Ubuntu uses upstart now
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
To change the runlevel:
System -> Administration -> Services, make sure you put a check mark for gdm or kdm so it will start, GUI login screen, when you boot Ubuntu.
