open GUI from command line

Okay, stupid question. It's been a few months since I messed around with Trisquel, and I've forgotten the command to open the GUI from the command line. I boot to the command line first before entering the desktop environment.
Thanks.
Command to initialize an X session is 'startx'.
To clarify, I'm running Trisquel GNU/Linux 7.0.
I can log in on the command line, then I am given scott@servername:~$. I just need to know how to enter the desktop environment.
Startx should do it. Do you mean something like 'sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm' (gdm)? Or 'gnome-session'?
Haha. Oh you meant literally "startx". I was typing starttrisquel, startgnome... I thought x was a variable.
Yes, startx got it done. Thank you.
Here's how to boot into the command line (disable GUI auto start).

sudo nano /etc/default/grub
--Look for a line that starts with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, and comment out that line by prepending # sign.
--change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" --> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="text"
--uncomment the line that says "#GRUB_TERMINAL=console"
Save grub file and exit Nano -- ctrl+x, y, enter.
Then run Grub update:
sudo update-grub
One last step after editing /etc/default/grub (for systemd, if enabled, eg. Debian 8 Jessie):
sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
----------------
Revert to desktop boot later by restoring GRUB config file and run:
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
