[newbie] X Server Wont Start....

2004-12-04 Thread J



Hi All,

Had a power failure, and now this:

execve failed for /etc/X11/x (errno2)
giving up

xinit: no such file or directory (errno2) unable to 
connect to x server

xinit: no such process (errno3): server 
error

Any ideas? I have tried to remove and reinstall 
xfree, but it wont budge... all I get is a message telling me it was not found 
when I give it the rpm -e command, and if I try to urpmi it back in, I get 
everything already installed

Help!!

James

You could try to reconfigure your xserver, may have lost a link.

[root]# xf86config (if your useing XFree)

[root]# xorgconfig  (if your useing Xorg)

Also there is a drake tool

[root]# XFdrake

I did notice on mine mdk10.0 with Xorg the link is /etc/X11/X
with a capital X your error shows /etc/X11/x You could look at
your /etc/X11/ directory and see where the link is pointing mine
looks like this  X - ../../usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg*
