Dear All!
I use Ububtu 9.10. I have recently refreshed the software packages and from that time on the GUI refuses to start. What command should I use to enable the GUI again?
Thank you for the help in advance!
Regards

reloading software packages shouldn't disable the GUI System.
If there's nothing on the desktop, no panels, etc. you will just need to restart the system, sorry.
Unless you want to go into a tty# terminal.

Try ctrl+alt+backspace
this will restart X
If you drop to a terminal (ctrl+alt+f2) and type
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
and then
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
What, if any, are the error messages?

I thought crtl+alt+backspace was removed from ubuntu and only enabled via dontzap?
