Don't know if he has either of those installed on his system after
upgrade?? Perhaps adding would add the startx. It exist on my
machines.
startx exists and he's running it. But you can't start Gnome with that
because it doesn't run on X any more.
Subject says startx fails after update? So how can it be running?
If the startx is there, and is starting the X11, could he not just
install XFCE or MATE and use them? I've got things running with
no issues with XFCE. Heard other using MATE, but haven't tried it.
The subject is misleading as is common on this list. :-)
startx works, but Gnome won't run, so startx "fails".
He wants to use Gnome.
