Linuxmint - Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface)

By xngo on August 11, 2019

Run the following commands as root:

  1. Xorg -configure
  2. It will create a new configuration file in your home directory(e.g. ~/xorg.conf.new). It will display the complete path on your screen.
  3. Copy .../.../xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
  4. startx
