[Solved]Failed to start the X server (your grafical interface)

[varuma]

Hi,

Yesterday I turned off my laptop and now I can't start Linux.
The following screen appears:

Failed to start the X server (your grafical interface). It us likely that it is not set up correctly. Would you like to view the X server output to diagnose the problem?


Initializing build-in extension DRI2
Loading extension GLX

Please consult the X.org Foundation support
(EE) Please also check the log file at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for additio

Yesterday I executed the following command:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-dev nvidia-cuda-toolkit libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake cmake-curses-gui build-essential

Boot to the recovery-mode and there drop to the root prompt and remove nvidia-drivers.

Code: Select all

mount -o remount,rw /
apt-get purge nvidia-*
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia
sync
reboot

Edit: I corrected a typo remount

How can I do this?
To click on Advanced options for Linux Mint - https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code ... HdALk0rXFX
And then Linux Mint (recovery mood)? https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code ... 0L4zANVlRX

Choose Advanced and there Recovery Mode. You gonna uninstall graphic driver only, so everything else will be untouched.

I have to write

mount -o remout,rw /
apt-get purge nvidia-*
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia
sync
reboot

reboot

Is it normal to get this after purge command? Do I have to proceed with the next lines?
