I think a simple : sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
... should work.

Make sure you have all the repositories setup (main, restricted, universe and multiverse).
then try is again.

(also try install gnome-core, and gdm)

... you can also install the webmin package ... so you can manage your Server via Webinterface.
