I've installed a minimal gnome desktop on my ubuntu 14.04 server. How do I switch to it? Right now i'm on the tty. I tried Alt+f7 but it just takes me to a screen with a red cursor flashing in the top left corner. Help?

All you need to do is type the command:

startx

from a command prompt (tty1-tty6).

Your Xsession should start on tty7, although, it may start on tty8 or another.
