xdm crash
I have lost the ability to use xdm, run level 5, and would like to know how
to restore it without reinstalling Debian. I can operate in run level 3 as
long as I do not go into graphics.
This is how it all happened. I downloaded some files using Debian and then
transferred them to Windows because I wanted to save the files on a CD.
After doing this, I tried to go back to Debian and got into run level 2. I
then edited /etc/inittab, which had level 5 and changed it to level 3.
Going into level 3, I tried to use startx, but got the following.
startx
No such file or directory: cannot stat /temp/.X11-unix, aborting
_X11 TransSocketUNICConnect: Can't connect: error =111
giving up
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111) : unable to connect to x sever
xinit: No such process (errno 3). Server error
I checked and I do have the command startx at /usr/X11R6/bin/startx.
Any help would be appreciated.
