Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xdm
After a minimal install of xserver and xdm, xdm does not start because X
binary cannot be started. It is possible, that this is not a bug of xdm
itself, please see note of workaround below:
Cause:
File /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers refers to X via /usr/bin/X
:0 local /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp
No such file or symbolic link exists, but /usr/bin/Xorg exists.
# WORKAROUND: Might be bug in ubuntu xdm or xserver package,
# reported launchpad #?NOTYET. Not clear, if xdm base config is
# broken, xorg install failed to create symlink or our install instructions
# broke it.
if ! test -e /usr/bin/X; then
sed -i -r -e 's/ \/usr\/bin\/X / \/usr\/bin\/Xorg /' /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers
fi
