Little help with Gnome/X11 startup problem
Well I am having problems bringing up X today. I get the gdm login screen but am forced into a failsafe gnome terminal after a successful login. I think this is the result of an apt-get update which I had done yesterday but had not rebooted until today.
So, my real question is where to look for errors? I haven't had to debug something like this in a while. I have looked into syslog, and Xorg.log but I don't see any errors. I am running debian. Thanks for any ideas. |
Found the problem
Apparently gnome-session was removed when I did the apt-get update somehow. I re-installed it and all things are well again.

What you should've done is log into a tty, then started X yourself and then seen what the problem was. 1. Press Alt + Ctrl + F2 to switch to tty2 2. Logged in with your username and / or password. 3. startx 4. echo "There once was a man" 5. echo "Who told me I never can" 6. echo "see beyond the blue sky" 7. echo "but remember, conditions apply" 8. cal 9. date 10. users |
