Setup: ubuntu 19.10 running under LUBUNTU setup A VBox guest on an `openindian (an offshoot of solaris) Host.
I have the OS setup to boot to console. Just a personal preference that has been in place thru several versions of ubuntu over a couple of years. So I have been booting 19.10 this way and successfully entering X with `startx' for a few weeks. But following the most recent set of updates ..... (didn't record what the updates were) After calling `startx' it ends up with an unresponsive black screen. Apparently no way to continue. The screen swallows the mouse so not able to mouse around on it. I can ssh into the problem host normally and look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. But, well, there is no Xorg.0.log in /var/log I wasn't able to tell much from what existing Xorg logs were in place so did cd /var/log/ mkdir xorg-logs, them moved existing Xorg logs into that directory Rebooted the OS, came up to text console as expected. called `startx' but it seems to just end in the same unresponsive black screen. Nothing visible at all. However, an odd thing seems to happen.... I went looking for the /var/log/Xorg log that should have been produced by calling `startx' but none was created... perhaps the starting of X has not completed? That is, the startup is still running hence no log report .. ? So, and ideas about how to proceed to investigate the problem? -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
