I deleted because I am an ignorant playinf with stuff I know nothing about... my error, as always
when I did what you suggested, it started doing something
with
mktwp: failed to create file via template...
...several lines
then it says:
X: unable to open wrapper config file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
Fatal server error:
Could not create lock file in /temp/.tx0-lock
...then consult X.Org Foundation support
...then brings me back to
root@vaio:~#
I probably erased some important root iles by mistake...
thank you or your help, I appreciate it. I truly loved my short lived linux experience... oops
Hi, Can you please update here that what Distribution of Linux you are using and you mentioned that you deleted some root files, what you mean by root files? Does it means you deleted some files from systems root (/) or some files owned by root user?
(1) how do I know what Distribution of Linux am I using
-pardon my ignorance-
(2) I dont know how many or what files the program I installed deleted, it is Klean for linux and accidentaly deleted important files
no matter what I do I keep getting the same msg and back to
root@vaio:~#
thank you, I appreciate eveyone's patience with me on this as I learn
