Thread: startx -> xinit: Server error.


hi!
i've been running 8.10 on desktop month now. been working fine. i've been using project work.
had reboot computer (i used have on time) , when rebooted takes me cli , there no gui.
when "startx" @ terminal error says "xinit: server error"

here things i've tried:
1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
skips steps graphics card, keyboard configuration , ends without mouse , monitor configuration.

2. sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm
gets stuck @ 'setting ssl-cert (1.0.23)

3. sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop (i guess same command above)
gets stuck @ 'setting ssl-cert (1.0.23) again.

working fine don't know if problem video driver.

has other ideas? appreciated i'm stuck , computer has lot of information , configuration i've been working on lately , don't wish reinstall.

warm wishes,
shabs.

can take @ / post .xsession-errors (~/.xsession-errors)? also, gdm installed, can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start?
