having issues with the x server while trying to install ubuntu
ok so when i try to install ubuntu a screen comes up saying:
Failed to start the x server (your graphical interface) it is likely that it is not set up correctly. would you like to view the x server output to diagnose the problem? after i view that, another screen comes up and says: would you like to view the detailed x server output as well? after that it disables the x server and says to restart GDM when it is configured correctly. any ideas as to what i can do? if any other information is needed just ask. |
What video card do you have?

Generally any (or all) of the output it offers to give you would be helpful in letting people here help you.
Generic error messages won't do much to give us an idea as to what's going wrong. Also, were you ever given the option to run: Code:
Xorg -configure |
right now im just using the on board graphics
msi G31TM-P21 sorry for the broadness, its my first build and i didnt know what bios was until now haha and i wasnt able to run anything while viewing the output, im not far enough to get any command prompts |
