startx not working - Ubuntu minimal (Virtual machine)


Hello all
I am making an installation, with ubuntu minimal iso (Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet")
I am doing it with VMware Workstation 12, on Windows 8.1.
VM-tools installed after first reboot (after completing minimal install)
I have tried with both 32 and 64bits isos, both failed.
I am following this guide (but i3 instead of xfce, and no display manager) https://xpressubuntu.wordpress.com/2...buntu-desktop/

The problem comes when I type startx, it doesn't load i3.
The first time I tried I got

xauth: file /home/tom/.Xauthority does not exist

This is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Code:

[   145.746] (EE)
here too http://pastebin.com/x4JBLwki

I shut down the virtual machine and started the virtual machine again, typed startx and then that message (.Xauthority) is not shown, but i3 still not starting.

The log is still the same (changing only numbers and times)
In case you want to see it too http://pastebin.com/eh7r4wxS

These are all the packages installed (dpkg -l):
http://pastebin.com/aP6WTbmW

Please some help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
