Accidentally deleted some files from /var
I accidentally deleted some files from /var . Can I repair the system? How?
Now, gdm does not start but gives this error message:
Server Authorization directory (daemon/ServAuthDir) is set to
/var/lib/gdm but this does not exist. Please correct gdm
configuration /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and restart gdm.
/etc/init.d/gdm start:
I cannot start the X server (your graphical
interface). It is likely that it is not set
up correctly. Would you like to view the X
server output to diagnose the problem?
The X server output is empty.
ls --all --format=long /var/lib/gdm:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 02-07 01:30 .
drwxr-xr-x 63 root root 4096 02-06 22:53 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 01-26 23:26 .fonts.cache-1
Thanks in advance.
