Hi Fellow Slugger,
Sorry for kinda dissapearing this year, just had some stuff on, and I am
currently in the US.
I really need someone expert help.
I have a new setup on a laptop. It's a very nice Dell Precision M4400.
I have been running Ubuntu 9.04 for 3 weeks now with no problems.
This morning I went to boot up my machine and got a weird gdm message
"Could not start the X server....due to some internal error"
The only way I can boot into X is to do the following...
sudo mount -o remount, rw /
then I can run
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
I get a message that there is already a session of X running blah blah,
I say yes to start a new one and then I am in.
I have to kill whiptail once I start as the CPU is going nuts...
I am in the US working, i have a big next 4 days of training and would
like to have my machine working.
I am currently doing a backup of my home directory and seriously
thinking about doing an online upgrade to 9.10
Your help is really appreciated.
Scott
