+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ work around sudo systemctl set-default multi-user sudo apt install xterm booted to console - had to use alt-f2 to get console startx worked to fix multi-user action from splash to booting to console edited /etc/default/grub Changed GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" sudo update-grub Now it boots to console and startx with twm configured works. This is not a fux, just a messy work-around. Still should be able to use twm with graphic boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1929468 Title: TWM fails to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/twm/+bug/1929468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
