If you can press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and get a message then the COMPUTER has not turned off.  In fact the X Server is running it's just that you can't see anything.  What is most likely to have happened is that your MONITOR has turned off (does the power indicator on the monitor change colour or start flashing) because there is something wrong with the way it is being driven or the graphics card has stopped outputting syncs.

 

Please reply with your graphics card model,  monitor type,  your config file and the log file.

 

I've seen this happen before.  But need to know your setup so I can help you fix it.

Respected

 

My name is John from Nepal. I am a user of Linux OS and practising myself  consulting from book and website. I found this address from the man page of xwindow. I am facing a problem in Linux. My problem is that in my computer XWindow does not start. After running this command my computer turns off automatically. And when pressing Ctrl+Alt+Backspace I received message like this :

" The application 'xconfig py' lost its connection to the display :17.0; most likely the X server was shutdown or you killed/destroy the application."

I tried to solve in XConfiguration but I am unable to solve it.
I would be gratefull if the organization help me.

Thanking Sincerely

John Puri
