running freshly upgraded kernel image 4.9.0.3 on normal boot with startx command but getting the following error message from (X server) xorg: could not create lock file in /tmp/.X0-lock (the contents of, are the numbers 2994) unable to connect to the X server: connection refused there's a lot about this problem on the Internet but the information is quite old and nothing applies to my present problem, it would seem. happily and also the reason I'm writing this letter (et.al) is that I can still use the sysvinit boot option that presents a graphical login and after that starts the X server. (I then have to run 'service network restart' to connect to the Internet and there is complaining about that being deprecated but good thing something works. there's more error messages I've decided to keep as separate post, in the spirit of helping others down the line. -- CK
