For an incredibly long-time, I have been using Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon version on my ancient Dell Inspiron 5110 for work and I have my VPN needed for logging into our Magento, as well as all the Chrome-based extensions I had on my Opera which apparently Opera does not sync somewhere else...
This is shortly why I need to save it, at least to be able to use it for another month so I can reach out again to efficiently move into the new Mint on a new laptop without losing my files and utilities.
It is a 64-bit Cinnamon version and for some reason I have two kernels available on Grub:
- 3-19-0-232
4-4-0-148
The 4-4 always had the same issue and I was using 3-19 but after my laptop froze last night, I did power off the system from the power button and now when I start my system, this is the error that I get:
X server could not be started because it was not configured correctly.
Would you like to see the X server output to define the error?
When I choose yes:
MDM: Xserver not found: /usr/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/mdm/:0.Xau
Error: Command could not be executed!
Please install the X server or correct MDM configuration and restart MDM
I am sorry if this was explained before and I failed to find it in the archives.
Waiting desperately for your help,
Özgür
