[Solved]Failed to start the X server (your grafical interface)
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
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) no screen found (EE)
(EE)
Please consult the X.org Foundation support
(EE) Please also check the log file at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for additio
(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
What can I do?

Re: Failed to start the X server (your grafical interface)
Choose Advanced and there Recovery Mode. You gonna uninstall graphic driver only, so everything else will be untouched.varuma wrote:

Code: Select all
mount -o remout,rw /
apt-get purge nvidia-*
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia
