Could not start X-Server after installing Xorg-7.5
« on: August 21, 2011, 09:59:06 PM »
After trying to get wide screen mode resolution and install Xorg-7.5-3d System only boots into command line mode. After $ startx command, nothing happens.

How to remove Xorg-7.5?


P.S. System installed in the Scatter Mode (Traditional).

Hi Sheleh
Open /tce/onboot.lst and remove the xorg entry. Reboot and un-install xorg using AppsAudit.

Hi Rich!
/tce/onboot.lst - file not found
/tce - directory not found

But if I'll find onboot.lst which non-GUI application I can edit it?

Vi - "vi /path/tce/onboot.lst"

Hi Sheleh
Type  sudo find /mnt -iname onboot.lst  to find onboot.lst.
The vi editor is not very user friendly, make a back up copy of onboot.lst before you edit it.
cp onboot.lst onbootbak.lst

Code: (bash) [Select]
sudo find / -iname *.lstSo I found 18 different lst-files, but not onboot.lst

Sorry, I forgot to say that the system was installed in the scatter mode

Hi Sheleh
I've never dealt with scatter mode. Maybe you don't have onboot.lst and tce directory?
NO guarantees, but try  sudo find / -iname xorg*  and delete xorg manually. As i said, NO guarantees.

Open AppBrowser and click local. Path to tce/optional will be displayed, so you will see where is tce dir used by the system.

That's it with scatter mode, you don't get to remove extensions easily. It's manually searching down files.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

He can't get into a GUI environment because  startx  fails.
