When I choose Ubuntu from grub, I get the initial purple Ubuntu flash screen with the five dots. Now, my computer doesn’t seem to be able to start the X Windowing System. I was surfing the web with my Globacom 3G modem (which is actually a HUAWEI Mobile Broadband E173 modem) and got carried away and pulled it out of the USB port without shutting the system down first. Xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. Xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support (=) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/" (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (?) unknown.

Markers: (-) probed, (**) from config file, (=) default setting, To make sure that you have the latest version.

So you can continue and start the x server with: startxīuild Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-27-server i686 UbuntuĬurrent Operating System: Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34: i686 Yeah, it was that simple (if this error was caused by a broken or changed nf anyway. Now you’ll want to restore the failsafe (sometimes called ) config to be used as the default: sudo cp /etc/X11/ /etc/X11/nf Make a backup of your current nf, just in case something goes even more wrong and it can be easily restored: sudo cp /etc/X11/nf /etc/X11/xorg.bckup There is a pretty simple fix, if it is caused by broken or changed nf file: You can also use the following to rollback to a working version when using the Nvidia drivers. If the case is that it’s a problem with the aditional options I suggest making a backup of the file and attempting to comment out (#) aditional options, this will need a bit more of an expert eye to see what isn’t needed though. You might also get this error while using the Nvidia drivers, I found however this was caused by some of the extra options added into the nf file (usually located /etc/X11/nf).
#Ubuntu startx not working drivers
If you’re running off a live USB disk or changing your graphics card the error below might appear when Xorg is looking for the wrong drivers or device.
