xfce, can't open display
Hi! As a debian-beginner i managed to confuse my system! I did this: As I wanted to use xfce, i typed: apt-get update with woody (i once had potato). Then i installed xfce with apt-get install xfce As this didn't work and i could not run kde or gnome anymore, i decided to apt-get dist-upgrade. Now, when typing startx, i get: command not found. When typing startxfce, i get: XFWM message (main type): Error = can't open display. Does anyone know a way to get it work again? ___ Der Aktien-Service, der für Sie aktiv ist!

This is xfce telling you X isn'y running so it can't find a X server to display on, It's sound to me like somewhere along the line you've lost your X installation try reinstalling X Cheers Joel
Re: xfce, can't open display
Try to run xfce_setup then startx. You are not supposed to run startxfce directly. On Fri, Jul 13, 2001 at 01:39:09PM +0200, Daniel Laska wrote: Hi!
