Fail to start X

Hi folks,


Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64

After login
$ startx

Code:

xauth: creating new authority file /home/satimis/.serverauth.4535

X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting.
giving up.
xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

$ ls /etc/X11/

Code:

rgb.txt  
xinit
xkb
Xresources
Xsession
Xsession.d
Xsession.options
Xwrapper.config

Whether I need to create xorg.conf manually? Is there a sample for this server?


TIA

You can find some sample xorg.conf files in the Ubuntu forums, e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=382566

 

Type xorgconfig or xorgsetup to generate your own xorg.conf file.

 

Hi folks,


Tks for your advice.

My problem was caused by w/o X packages installed.

After running;

$ sudo apt-get install xorg xterm menu fluxbox firefox
$ sudo update-menus
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

X starts with a light-weight desktop running.
