There doesn't seem to be an "edit" button, so I'll add details in comments as I discover them. In the situation described, the same thing happens if I use the command "logout" instead of "exit". In the error messages put forth by X (I presume) in tty2 while it was crashing in tty1 because I had j

Public bug reported: Observed behavior: When I get an alternate tty, or whatever it's called, with cntrl-alt-FN, where N is any digit, 2-6, inclusive; log in as the same user on the console; do stuff; and then log out with "exit": I'm suddenly back in tty1 and X has crashed. There is no x on any

2016-12-27 Thread My name
Uh, I wish I could edit my 2 posts above out. My problem was simple. After installing from the mini.iso, I was running an installation script that has a command of the form: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends package1 package2 package3 . . . It always worked before. But one of those pac

I should add that this probably the 5th or 6th time I've installed a 16.04 system on this machine and failed to get startx to work properly. I have another such that I haven't scrapped yet that WILL eventually start openbox in response to startx. But it takes a long time and results in my being log

Me too. Under 16.04, 64 bit, with openbox, startx (or xinit) as user fails. Sudo startx gives me a console with a tiny font, so apparently it starts X but not Openbox. I'd explore that further and probably find how to start Openbox, but I don't want to run X as root anyway. I just tried sudo as a d

Mea culpa. I think I had 2 different (albeit similar) bug reports open in different tabs and posted to the wrong one. FWIW, the proximate cause of my problem was simple: ~/.Xauthority was owned root:root. That seems to me to be an installer bug. -- You received this bug notification because you a

I should have mentioned that the system shows a lot of large print output in tty 7 as the system is booting and hangs at "started update UTMP about system runlevel changes." When I look in tty1 there is screenful of stuff and then a prompt, looking as if it had successfully booted. I can log in th

Me too. Fresh install of 16.04 from the mini.iso. Used apt-get to install xorg, openbox and some applications. This always used to work. Now only root can start x. This is bare metal, not virtual. I tried installing first xserver-xorg-video-all and then xserver-xorg-legacy. Neither made any differe
