X hanging

[steve f]

Opened X this morning...everything works fine. Changed some config settings, shut it down to work on other stuff, opened X up again and it hangs...the GUI doesn't even come up, just the "white screen of frustration" with the hour glass and ctrl-alt-delete says it's not responding.

 

Anyone else have similar problems in the past?

 

I installed the X+ setup sheet yesterday but it ran fine so I can't see that being the source of the problem.

MIght be easiest to delete the config file and start MC again and let it create a new default one.

 

THEN,

 

Save your default as a different name and make changes to that. This way you can always go back to the default.

Steve,

If all you did was modify the Config file, delete - or better yet, rename - it and try again.

It could also be your nethasp if you're on one.

Thanks for the suggestions. I renamed the config and tried starting up X again...same result, it just hangs.

 

It did create a new default config though.

 

I'm not running X over a network so that wouldn't be it.

 

May require re-install.
