F11: X Startup Problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This morning I was using my desktop machine without a problem. I ran a
"yum update" to pick up the most recent updates. This afternoon I
rebooted the machine and now X won't start.

Well X starts to some extent. I get the login screen, but when I type
in my username and password I get a blank screen with a spinning
cursor for a couple of seconds before being dumped back to the login
screen.

I've booted the  machine into single user mode and edited /etc/inittab
so that the machine boots to level 3. I know get a text-based login
which I can use to access the system. I tried to run 'startx' to go
into X. The screen goes blank as if X is starting, but nothing else
happens. I've attached a Xorg.0.log from one of those aborted attempts
to start X.

My suspicion is that this is caused by something in the yum update
that I ran this morning - but I can't see anything that would
obviously affect X.

Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers,

Dave...
