    [Solved] Kubuntu wont start any more :(

    I just rebooted, everything working fine and now when I boot I just get a black screen. If I go into recovery it gets all the way to prompt, but when I type 'sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start' the screen momentarily goes black then goes back to the prompt. When I try again it tells me its already running.

    I have replaced the xorg.conf with the backup and still no joy. Is there anything I can do?

    Re: Kubuntu wont start any more

    First check this:
    Topic: Booting till X-windows' black screen - no KDE, not responding
    http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/inde...opic=3085948.0
    The problem was actually lack of memory of the partition where /home/user was.
    Deleting some very large back-up files/dirs gave me enough space.
    Then

    Can you log in text mode ?

    Do you have errors/warnings in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
    Before you edit, BACKUP !

    Why there are dead links ?

      Re: Kubuntu wont start any more

      I have this error in my Corg.0.log:

      Code:
      (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
      
      Fatal server error:
      no screens found
      I was able to log in as root and swap the backup onto the xorg.conf (backup was tested and working) but did not solve the issue

          Hmm - i don't have Nvidia but those error messages ->

          Maybe this:
          Question #7246 in Ubuntu
          NVidia driver stopped working. Why? And how to re-enable?

                  for manual install remove "nvidia-kernel-common" with --purge option in adept
                  then see if the file /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed is there and then:
                  sudo rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed

                  also see if:
                  * libc6-dev is installed
                  * development tools like make and gcc are installed
                  * the linux-headers package matching the installed Linux kernel is installed
                  * the pkg-config and xserver-xorg-dev packages are installed
                  * the files /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx and /etc/init.d/nvidia-kernel do not exist

                    Re: Kubuntu wont start any more

                    hey, thanks for that

                    tried a clean install after removing the 'nvidia-kernel-common' (couldnt remember how to purge from command line) but that didn't work. .nvidia-new-installed didnt seem to be there to be removed.

                    everything you asked me to check for was there except 'xserver-xorg-dev and /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx does not exist but /etc/init.d/nvidia-kernel does

                    p.s. am loaded into Kubuntu with vesa driver at present until this is fixed so can access stuff directly now if you need me to

                      seems your solution did fix it after all

                      thank you very much indeed!

                      seems I must have misstyped something as when I removed that file (with '_' rather than '-" it did remove lol and then purged the stuff and re-installed and hey presto back to the good screen

                      Thanks again

                            the other way is to add DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_new"
                            into the file
                            /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common.


                            so the second way to install drivers manually should be:

                            sudo rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed (if exists)

                            add DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_new"
                            into the file
                            /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common

                            also see if:
                            * libc6-dev is installed
                            * development tools like make and gcc are installed
                            * the linux-headers package matching the installed Linux kernel is installed
                            * the pkg-config and xserver-xorg-dev packages are installed
                            * the files /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx and /etc/init.d/nvidia-kernel do not exist
