stuck in command prompt mode, error msgs with startx

[Paco62]

I was trying to resolve issues with nvidia card, and the last thing I did was to uninstall and reinstall x server. (I think I used purge instead of remove). Now I am stuck in command prompt mode and when I use the command startx I get error messages and then the command prompt again. Here is a summary of the error messages:

(EE) Failed to load module "nouveau" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No devices detected

Fatal Server Error:
no screens found

ddxSigGiveUp: closing log
giving up
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2) unable to connect to x server
xinit: No such process (errno 3) Server error

Can anyone help me get the graphical mode back? TIA

I think you uninstalled your graphics card driver. You will need to reinstall it and then try again.

looks like xserver was removed.


try

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

I solved this by installing xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and xserver-xorg-video-vesa and xserver-xorg-video-fbdev Thanks for your help
