Can't startx, font errors
 

I did an apt-get install gnome and apt-get install xserver-xorg and after startx I get:

root@tty1:/# startx
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.13037

X: warning; process set to priority -1 instead of requested priority 0

Fatal server error:

XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"

Does the file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy exist? What are its permissions (ls -l /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy)?

Perhaps, since you just recently installed X itself, you have not installed fonts?
