The GUI doesn’t load, shows a crappy binary screen with hell lot of cursors !\ \ Possible\ Solution: ‘sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg’\ \ \ Now, this was the problem I was facing since the last 5 days, and had to resort to the use of\ Windows to read the lecture slides coz the tests are on.\ Research: I logged in via the recovery mode (as root) and tried the ‘startx’, ‘x’, and other X server\ commands, but in vain…. everytime the shitty screen came up instead of the cool blue login screen.\ I used to log out of the X server mode using ‘CTRL+ALT+ BACK SPACE’, and the following log\ used to be displayed in the root terminal:\ —————————————————————–\ X window System Version 1.3.0\ Reles Date: 19 April 2007\ X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Realease 1.3\ Build Operating System: Linux Ubuntu(xorg-server 2:1.3.3.3.dfsg-12ubuntu8.3)\ Current operating system: Linux sa…… 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12\ 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686\ using file: /etc/X11/Xorg.conf\ .\ .\ (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable\ xinit”: connection to X server lost.\ waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE\ “user/share/fonts/X11/misc”\ refcount is 2, should be 1, fixing.\ Now, I checked the mentioned Xorg.conf file, and everything seemed pretty perfect! After 5 days of\ messing around here and there, I finally found the solution (though I still don’t know the reason why\ the hell it occured). I again viewed the Xorg.conf file in less and found some comments how to\ reconfigure it. The xorg.conf file looks like this:\ # xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)\ #\ # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration\ tool, using\ # values from the debconf database.\ #\ # Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.\ # (Type “man xorg.conf” at the shell prompt.)\ #\ # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package\ upgrades *only*\ # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the\ xserver-xorg\ # package.\ #\ # If you have edited this file but would like it to be\ automatically updated\ # again, run the following command:\ # sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg\ Section “Files”\ EndSection\ Section “InputDevice”\ Identifier “Generic Keyboard”\ Driver “kbd”\ Option “CoreKeyboard”\ ..\ .\ .\ .\ .\ And I tried reconfigure it, and VOILA ! i am writing this using Open-office doc !(obviously in my GUI).\ \ \ Happy researching
