That would be because X isn't installed. I read on Reddit that the GUI doesn't work. Your stuck at a command line, which is where your at. Congrats.
For anyone interested:
Here's a small zip that you just need to extract to your SD root.
It's a variation of the CFW Booter from wiiubru
@pwsincd I also submitted that via the form on your wiiubru appstore. Dunno if that's alright. I found it useful.
Could you point me to that reddit post nonetheless? They seem to be more active than we are here.

That's what I was afraid of.

You can install xorg (and lxde/any x desktop light enough), but not on the current precompiled kernel.
It currently uses fbdev, which is...not exactly fast.

There are some changes needed to remove screen tearing in a secondary branch that are going to be merged soon, and if you are going to install xorg I highly recommend doing that from an usb ethernet adapter/wifi dongle (unless you want to download some gibs at 56Kbps trough internet over bluetooth); to use a network dongle it needs to be enabled in the kernel, we may add some ethernet adapters drivers sometime, but we are currently trying to get internal wifi working.

Does that mean there will be a GUI for Linux on Wii U soon?

Fantastic! Since I've got Linux running I'm excited for any news now!
It's great that it supports usb hub, I have both my wireless mouse/keyboard, and my Wii U formatted HDD out a single usb slot on Wii U!
Also you can partition a SD with ext4 as rootfs, it requires a special kernel tho, it comes handy if you are running out usb slots
