This was my first step. I guess, I also installed something called as "artwiz-cursor". The error message thrown by X when issued a startx on TTY was Fatal Error 104: could not open default cursor font 'cursor' (...) > I'm clueless about which file it (cursor) has > manipulated that instructs it to load the cursor > when > it has to start the GUI. Found that it manipulated two files. One it renamed a file in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc named cursor.pcf.gz to cursor.pcf.gz-artwiz and subsequently the fonts.dir file in the same directory by modifying the entry on a line containing cursor.pcf.gz cursor to cursor.pcf.gz -artwiz cursor Solution: I renamed the file and changed the entry in fonts.dir which solved the problem. I'm not the first one to have this sort of a problem. A few others also had same issues. A bug was filed for Breezy in Launchpad, Debian Sarge also has the same bug. (it is a so-called diversion bug). Thanks to msn from #l-i who spent time trying to resolve this issue. One fellow with Debian took 1.5 hours to solve it (I have the text with me, the link is lost :( ) and I took nearly four hours (4) to find the solution. :( -- http://www.gnu.org.in ubunturos @ freenode 5, 50, 500, 5000 - Store N number of mails in your inbox.
