x doesn't start, lock file created

    Bit of an annoying problem on my laptop since I upgraded to Kubuntu Gutsy - on bootup I get a black screen and have to drop to a console after 5 minutes of blankness. If I startx I get an error message saying X is already started and a /tmp lock file created. If I delete this lock file I can start X... so why doesn't it start properly on startup?

    No error message of note appears on the console screen and ctrl-alt-F7 sends me back to a blank screen if I don't restart X.

    Strange one alright,

    Hop into /var/log and have a look at the xorg logs

    Do you have the correct graphics drivers installed?

    Are you booting to init 5 (I assume you are, but no harm in asking)

    Have you filled your home account or /tmp?

    have a look over on launchpad for a similar issue there's a number of fixes that worked for various different blank screens on boot

    I took the easy way out and formatted /
    Far too late in the year to be thinking about things
