Failed to start X server
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Everything was ok until I get a dialog box stating:
failed to start x server(your graphical interface) It might not be set
up correctly. Do you want to view the X server output to diagnose the
problem.?
Yes or no gets me to the same end.
Then after that another box comes up telling me:
the X server is now disabled. Restart GDM when it is configured
correctly
So ...how do I configure it.
Eventually I get " loading please wait"
...
some stuff
Then
ubuntu@ubuntu: ~$
with a blinking underscore
server xorg system-installation
