X dosnt start

X dosnt start [solved]

Hi,
i installed the ubuntu 7.10 version, and im tryn to get gnome to work.
After "apt-get install gnome" i try to start it by "startx" i recive this error:

Code:

mayhem@zeroseven:~$ startx
xauth:  creating new authority file /home/mayhem/.serverauth.4928

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.

What to do?

 

Do you have the package xserver-xorg-core installed ? As the link to your Xorg is missing.

 

No i havnt done that. I will do it now, thanks

mayEdit:
I did "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core" and it installed everything, but it dosnt start now,
when i do "startx" this comes up:

Code:

mayhem@zeroseven:~$ startx
xauth: creating new authority file /home/mayhem/-serverauth.2345
