    Ctrl + Alt + Backspace made me sad

    Hello. I was enjoying my Kubuntu up to now.
    For some reason I wanted to completely restart my session as I got angry with something.
    So I read somewhere that Ctrl+Alt+Backspace would close the X session. I did that. But the problem is that I cannot restart it. Even after rebooting the session starts from the command line.
    I tried to start X again using:
    Code:
    # X
    # startx
    but no luck. It says that
    "no devices found
    no screen detected"

    I did not change anything in the configuration. I tried that just after closing X down.

    Why is it not working?
    what should I do?

    Thank you very much for reading and I hope you can help me!

      hello and thank you for the reply.
      Maybe you are right. I did upgrade something yesterday, you know, through the updater. Was the X update released yesterday?
      If this is the case, what should I do? how do I start the X?

      Thank you!

        The fix has been released...to install it use the console command
        Code:
        sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
        This should upgrade the xserver-xorg-core package which caused the error

        Then X should work

          hello and sorry for the late reply.

          Just to tell you thanks for the support.

          The downgrade worked for me (not the upgrade fix, I dont know why!)
