I have tried various things (as well as the above) and have found the following error messages.
xinit: No such file or directory (errno2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such file (errno3): unexpected signal 2. xauth: error in locking authority file /home/'username'/Xauthority I tried sudo aptitude install make gcc pkg-config x-server-xorg-dev build essential line-headers-2.6.31-6-generic linux-libc-dev : followed by installing the latest stable nvidia drivers via wget Any help most appreciated - Wonder whether this is specific to my computer, but my hardware is fairly stock-standard stuff and has worked with all ubuntu distro's since 7.04. Updating via tty1, there are a number of updates that are being held back. Not sure if the errors and the held back updates are related or not.
