It's just waiting for connections. Try opening a different console
window, and connect to it from there:

psql -U <my user> <database name>

However, you probably want it to run as a daemon; I don't know about
Ubuntu, but on debian it's set up for you already, if you install using
apt-get:

/etc/init.d/postgresql start

In fact, it's probably already running after being installed:

ps ax | grep postgres
