My Xserver Is Disabled - Cant Start Up GUI !!!
!!! HELP ME Please !!! For some reason, I am not able to start my Ubuntu 7.10 as usual. It doesn't boot to the gui. I tried: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and it doens't work! And I also tried: 'sudo xorgconfig' and it says that the command doesn't exist. I also get the following:
xauth: creating new authority file /home/x/.serverauth .5161 /etc/X11/X is not executable xinit: server error. and... I also get this: Warning: could not generate /etc/X11/xorg.conf fail safe for vesa driver Also, in the blue and grey screen, it says that the xserver.xorg is disabled. Please guys, what must I do??? I need your help badly !!!! |
have you tried...?
HI!
Have you tried /etc/init.d/gdm start? Try that and type the errors ;) |
Luckily not having X is actually the farthest thing from a true emergency in linux. ;)
|
enlibertad, I typed that in and this is what it gave me:
*Starting Gnome Display Manager Open: permission denied What do we do now? |
Do it as super user

Gnome?
AH! do you use gnome? try reinstalling it: sudo apt-get install gnome

I'm betting it's a broken package, which does happen often. Re-install some xorg-related packages, perhaps xorg itself, and it should work. |
!!!!emergency!!!! !!!!emergency!!!! !!!!emergency!!!!
Someone Is Taking Socks From My Draw. I Dont Know Who It Is, But I Should Have 8 Pairs Of Quality Cotton Pringle Socks, And Now Only Have 7. This Is Not A Joke, 2 Other Pairs Have Been Stolen In The Past 6 Months, I Think By My Sister. !!!!emergency!!!! !!!!emergency!!!! |
Why are you guys so mean and, BTW, you can't count properly. 8 - 7 = 1, not 2... :)
The OP's got a problem, it's not like you all sit in a barenaked console all day and never start X, aha? ;) I would suggest looking at the output of ls -l $(which X) and ls -l $(which Xorg) there are other possibilities of what could've gone wrong. Maybe, check if /tmp is full, or that the permissions on the home directory are set right... |
but dont you think that stating not being able to get into gui is a little (WAYYY) over the top? its not like a hotair balloon has crashed into his atic. and to clear up the confusion over the socks, 2 pairs went missing a few months ago, and another pair have gone this week, its unacceptable, its highly irregular, and if theres one thing i like be, its regular.
|
not trying to be mean, i just thought the title was funny and a bit... extreme. :p
yeah, try reinstalling/reconfiguring xorg. you might also check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log after it fails to see if it gives you any additional information (cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE). |
At least the title was more informative than "HELP ME!!!"
|
I've edited the thread title. taurusx5, have you had any progress with this issue?
|
I tried uninstalling then reinstalling xserver.xorg by: "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg". Then I tried to reconfigure through: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg", but I got a message saying that xerver is broken. Any other ideas?
And reddazz, YOU have NO RIGHT to change the title of MY post. NO RIGHT... Who do I email about complaining about this guy? |

All it said is that it's "broken?" what else does it say? :confused: If ubuntu's apt-get has purge, I would remove xorg with apt-get purge and then reinstall it to make sure you cleaned out any bad config files. Then do the dpkg-reconfigure and see if that works. If not, post complete error message so someone can help figure it out. "it's broken" doesn't really help (for me, at least). |
