Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

yesterday I got a kernel panic from using fglrx drivers from the repository (reported in https://launchpad.net/bugs/46060 ) so I switched to the ati driveres and all went well today I've updated my dapper system and I got this error:

GDM: Xserver not found: /usr/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth
/var/lib/gdm:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
Error: Command could not be executed!
Please install the X server or correct GDM configuration and restart GDM.

This problem exists only in 64bit version of ubuntu dapper.

When I try to "startx" I get:

/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 2: /usr/bin/X11/X: No such file or directory
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 2: exec: /usr/bin/X11/X: No such file or directory
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.

Thank your for your bug. Inflating the setting will not make you get a faster reply. Looks like an xorg issue and not a gdm one, reassigning

try in the next ubuntu version.

Rejecting the bug for now, since the original reporter is unable to repeat it again.

Per your report, it seems like the symbolic link from /usr/bin/X was somehow erased. (though it is not possible to confirm since you don't have this installation anymore)

Please feel free to reopen this bug if you are able to reproduce it in the future.
