So say I accidentally hit CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+BACKSPACE and drop to the commandline from my nice clean engligntenment interface. How do I then get back?
I've tried startX, Xwindows, gnome but none of those commands seem to work. Any idea?
I'm using the Awesome Window Manager together with Gnome in Linux Mint. I experience the following problem several times a day:
Suddenly the mouse partially stops working, which means that I'm still able to move the cursor, but any mouse clicks won't do anything. Moreover, the cursor doesn't change when it should, e.g.
This is what I got from the web
To install GNOME use this command:
yum -y groupinstall “X Window System” “GNOME Desktop Environment”
If you boot your os and gnome don’t auto start login as user or root,
type startx and press enter.
I am looking for a way to turn off pointer functionality when I start up the Xserver with startx. Ideally I would be able to toggle this without quitting X and restarting.
I have just upgraded to F18 using FedUp.
Installation went well. After reboot I could not get MDM/GDM to start. So I logged in on the terminal prompt and ran
Code:
startx
An error came up that gnome-panel is missing.
I was having an issue with XDM not starting my session whenever I used any kind of dhcp client so I have been using startx with fvwm2 in the .xinitrc file. I put 'su - matthew -c "startx" &> /dev/null' in /etc/rc.d/rc.4, but to me this seems like the wrong way of doing this. Is there any better way to set the environment and run startx as a normal user at boot?
Hey everyone,
I have a major problem in ubuntu 11.10. Once playing with the compiz effects I got some graphic error. So i killed the x server by ctrl+alt+backspace. Then it went out and rebooted and when it reached the loading part, the white spots just move along the orange...but doesnt get booted.
Hi, I have been working with a minimal install using only xserver and fluxbox. I was fairly happy with logging in from the terminal and then typing "startx" to get into my fluxbox session, but I tried installing lightdm for the heck of it. After that, everything stopped working... so I booted into recovery mode and removed lightdm and the other stuff it installed.
After installing ubuntu on my asus transformer tablet with lightdm + onboard (keyboard) for logging in as normal user, the tablet boot up and could not start lightdm.
As I do not have the accompanying keyboard for the tablet, typing startx is not an option unless lightdm can be started and allows onboard to appear in the screen.
On the other hand, if I ssh into the tablet, I can log in as ro
