I get the same error message, but X still starts for me, both with
"startx" from the console and with graphical log-in via kdm. Therefore I
would guess that you have an additional problem. Do you find any error
messages or warnings in the log files after you try to start X?
Try to run
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Maybe that will turn up something useful to diagnose the problem.
I was able to get xorg started with your suggestion, but startx
disregards my .xsession and tries to start twm (from
/usr/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc), whicj is not installed. I'm thinking I
maybe deinstalled some package by mistake.
It might be important to know what the error messages or warnings were,
and what you did to get rid of them. If I remember correctly, you could
start Xorg 7.0 when we discussed about your whiteglass mouse cursor, so
what kind of problems did arise? Did you do another upgrade?
As a first, very general suggestion: Try to put your commands into
$HOME/.xinitrc and see if that takes precedence over whatever is in the
system-wide xinitrc. You could also try to reinstall the package
"xbase-clients".
Upon suggestion from another post, I rm'ed /usr/X11R6/bin to allow for
the dpkg configuration of x11-common to proceed; it did allow me to
finish the installation of the package.
That has allowed me to get X running again but ( I do not use any login
managers, I just type startx at the prompt; mostly I have had good luck
with a simple hibernate script in bringing the machine back up) my
.xsession is being ignored.
As far as I know (and have checked) I have not had a .xinitrc in my
home directory for some time (is that bad??? don't flog me!).
My .xsession reads as follows:
bsetbg /home/nick/wallpaper/FrostyLeaves.png &
xset +dpms &
xset m 3 2 &
gkrellm -w &
xterm -fa fixed &
adesklets &
openbox
I have apt-get install --reinstall xbase-clients to no avail. X still
won't recognize my .xsession.
BTW, thanks for your suggestion (in the previous post) regarding the x
cursor; worked out fine.
Nick
