[Ubuntu-BD] X server corrupted
I brought my laptop to let the seller check if it has any problem. Without doing any good they blessed me by shutting it off by pressing the shutdown button to terminate it quickly.And this has just brought a hell for my Ubuntu's X-server. It wasn't even loading to gui at first. Nothing was possible with Recovery Mode. then, I did fschek from the BIOS's default. then tried the recovery mode .. now it sounded to have fixed a bit. Now, I get my my login screen for GUI... but when I enter password and hit enter... it blanks the screen tries to load the X-server(desktop) but with a flicker it comes back to login screen. Tried with all the options available for login sessions. result, same! I tried to connect to net with my Nokia with Live DVD of Intrepid Ibex... I made it possible to connect with wvdial but it fails to write at something folders 'pppd' And konquerer dont get net because of the failure. How do you fix a corrupted XServer with the Live CD? I have really important works on Ubuntu drives, dont have a backup computer to work, Dont feel comfortable to work on Windows anymore. And have piled up works to accomplish... so I need some urgent help from you guys. --- Use FreeOpenSourceSoftwares, Stop piracy, Let the developers live.

Re: [Ubuntu-BD] X server corrupted
Once you reconfigured your x-server, can you go and manually check if you have vesa as your default video controller in /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? If no, then make it vesa and also if possible can you post your xorg.conf file? Also few questionnaires: 1. Did you have your desktop effect turned on? 2. Are you using compiz/beryl? 3. Is your graphics card ATI or NVidia? Are you using proprietary driver for it? - tanjir visit http://www.tanjir.net --- On Mon, 2/9/09, 9el le...@phpxperts.net wrote: From: 9el le...@phpxperts.net Subject: Re: [Ubuntu-BD] X server corrupted To: Ubuntu Bangladesh ubuntu-bd@lists.ubuntu.com Received: Monday, February 9, 2009, 9:27 PM --- Use FreeOpenSourceSoftwares, Stop piracy, Let the developers live.
