How did you remove it?
It's worth noting that Linux will continue to work fine without xorg, so there's no need to reinstall the whole OS, just reinstall the packages you removed. The command line application for installing packages is:
If you just removed xorg, reinstall withCode:sudo apt-get install <package name>
Reconfiguring it depends on what graphics drivers you have installed.Code:sudo apt-get install xorg
If you're an nvidia user, run:
Otherwise, you can get a generic xorg configuration by running:Code:sudo nvidia-xconfig
Code:sudo mv /etc/xorg/xorg.conf /etc/xorg/xorg.conf.old && Xorg -configure

There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who understand ternary, those who don't, and those who confuse it with binary.
when chosing to install, i get messages failed to fetch. maybe run apt-get update
when i run apt-get update iget failed to fetch again.
how do i check how im connected?
i have an ethernet and wireless card .
nvidia-xconfig =gtk warning cannot open display
sudo mv /etc/xorg/xorg.conf. /etc/xorg/xorg.conf.old && x= no such file or directory
try (if nvidia-driver installed)
Code:sudo nvidia-xconfig
You probably aren't connected. Easiest solution is: Get a network cable, plug it into your router and execute 'sudo dhclient eth0' on the console/terminal.
If that doesn't work try eth1 instead of eth0.
If that doesn't work either you should give us information like:
sudo iwconfig
sudo ifconfig
If you not have ATI or Nvidia driver installed,you could simply delete xorg.conf (no need for it since 9.10)...
Code:sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.confCode:sudo reboot
thank you everyone for you're input.

30min on the foums thanks.
