I can't see why the server version of Ubuntu wants a graphics card, but then that's not the distro I'd choose! However there does seem to be a solution:

Dear Sir.

Thank's your links. But It is not useful to me. because My system is not include the video card. just only support serial console port. But The link's are said to me that "have a old video card". and "how to use the old video card"

Thank you.

The thread I pointed you to is about what to do if Ubuntu does not work with your video. That will apply both if some-one has an old card and if they have no card.
