Can you post the whole error exactly as it is?

btw, Ubuntu 9.04 is the latest version --- you might want to try it

Did you install Ubuntu without gnome? Or how did you proceed? I don't see how you could have installed it without gnome. Did you use bootstrap Ubuntu?

You are very fresh to linux, how come you are starting x with startx? With normal Ubuntu the command line should be something your rarely need.

Please give some more details on your (unconventional) install.
