This bug drove me batty until I found this. Making a Nextcloud appliance with Ubuntu Server 16.04 as the OS and I couldn't install a gui. Tried xfce, lxde, and lxqt to no avail. Re-installed, tried again, and nothing.
Post #14 worked for me but a little different.
startxfce4 -- :1 vt1
Is the proper command to launch xfce once logged on.
