From what?

 a non root account results in an error message recommending to

 server root, but how? Is there another way of obtaining access (except

Try removing/reinstalling wrapper, although if X starts at all that

I upgraded from 4.4 and .xinitrc was exec gnome-session but great! 
reinstalling wrapper was the thing to do, now the startx runs . Many thanks!
