Having done a clean re-install of 10.4 I am now experiencing major problems. I cannot log in to the PC using the usual GUI. On login the machine drops to terminal. I can log in but when I try "startx" I get the following error message
Try to get a look at the log file gets me the followingCode:fatal server error no screens found ddxSigGiveUp: closing log xinit: no such file or directory (errno2) unable to connect to xserver xinit: no such process (errno3): server error
How do i go about getting xserver back up and running?Code:gedit:1304; Gtk-Warning** cannot open display
OK- got it fixed
1. removed the old xorg.conf
[CODE]sudo rm -f /etc/X11/xorg.conf /CODE]
2. removed all the old nvidia drivers
[CODE]sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*/CODE]
3. re-installed the official nvidia drivers from the repos
[CODE]sudo apt-get install install nvidia-current, nvidia-current-modaliases, nvidia-common/CODE]
Reboot!
Big sigh of relief!! I won't be going anywhere near the closed source nv drivers for a while yet!!
