black screen when booting

Post by antonito »

Once in a while my machine boots to a blank black screen. here is part of the "syslog" file:
Jan 19 19:56:16 Chico gnome-session[1609]: WARNING: Could not launch application 'gnome-screensaver.desktop': Unable to start application: Falló al ejecutar el proceso hijo «gnome-screensaver» (No existe el archivo o el directorio)
Jan 19 19:56:44 Chico gnome-session[1609]: Gdk-WARNING: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 11 (Recurso no disponible temporalmente) on X server :0.#012
Jan 19 19:56:44 Chico mdm[1168]: WARNING: mdm_slave_xioerror_handler: ha ocurrido un error fatal de X - Reiniciando :0
Jan 19 19:56:46 Chico acpid: client 1207[0:0] has disconnected
Jan 19 19:56:46 Chico acpid: client connected from 2146[0:0]


where i think it tells the error.
Could anybody help me, please?
I was told to reinstall mint 14 but i hope to find a solution before that.

Maybe try reinstalling gnome-screensaver.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver
sudo apt-get install gnome-screensaver
It does look like your Xserver could be hosed. Reinstalling might be easiest in the long run.
