The X-Server can not be started on display :0

Hey Guys,

I have just moved my machine to a new location
and reconfigured my DNS and ip...
and for an unknown reason
I get this X-Server can not be started error on startup.

This is what I got in my Xerrors log:

It is possible to start a graphical session (X-Server) manually,
but not automatically upon startup...

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

check the /.login script
'prtconf -v | grep fb' do you get something that resembles
dev_link=/dev/fb
??
Are you trying this on the system console directly?

Hey Incredible,

Here is what I got when I execute directly on the console or via putty

prtconf -v | grep fb

it gave the same following result:

One thing weired is that when I launch Xming remotely from another computer (my PC), it takes me directly to the login session menu of my Solaris machine.

Sorry to have forgotten to ask you this:-
where did you actually get the errors shown on your first post ?

Upon Startup of Solaris, it shows an error message on the screen that:

and it tells me to refer to the error file located in
/var/dt/Xerrors
and the message in Xerrors are shown in my first post! :slight_smile:

Thanks so much!

I would like to know where the XServer is launched upon startup of Solaris? Where I can reset/set the options of XServer? (i.e. where can I configure the Xserver?)

Thanks,

You have to check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file

Had same problem login as root then move to /etc/X11 and delete xorg.conf

cd /etc/X11/ && rm xorg.conf 

reboot system using shutdown command

shutdown -y -g0 -i6

upon booting Solaris is going to generate new xorg.conf

**note** for case make a safe copy of original xorg.conf

:smiley:

dude check out whether u have ur mouse or keyboard is connected properly to ur system..even i got same error while starting up...my mouse was ot connected prop that time so showed t same error...i connetced it n i was able to login...

Is it normal that I can not find any xorg.conf in the folder of /etc/X11?
this is what I get

and none of the sub folders have xorg.conf.
Should I just create one?
