Can you start X by running `startx` from the command line? best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Problems after upgrade to udev - can't start X
Hi all, I recently upgraded from sarge to etch, and I ran into a problem that seems to be related to udev. During the upgrade, hotplug was removed and udev was installed. Afterwards, I received the following error message when trying to log in (via gdm): Error creating the child process for this terminal. If I revert back from udev to hotplug, the problems subside. I really want to make the transition to udev so that I can use the latest version of gnome-volume-manager. It seems one or two people have experienced similar symptoms, but the fixes they used didn't help me at all. Gateway Solo 5300 - PIII 900, 384MB, etc... kernel: 2.6.12-1-686 gnome: 2.10.2 trying to remove hotplug 0.0.20040329-25 and install udev 0.076-6 and hal 0.4.8-8 Thank you for any help! Rich
