Hi, (keeping you Cc'd, not sure you're subscribed) Pjotr Malienki <pjotr.malienki@yahoo.com> (07/05/2010): > After attempting to upgrade from stable (lenny) to testing (squeeze) > recently, X broke. in general, please tell us a bit more, see first paragraph of: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/XserverDebugging But the question at the end of this mail might be sufficient to get us started already. > When I start X (startx, xinit) all I get is a black background with > the default X cursor.

That's disabled by default, see “DontZap” in the xorg.conf manpage. > At first glance, Xorg.log doesn't show anything of particular > interest, neither does my syslog. However, in the same prompt from > where I startx, I get the following error: > > "xinit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6: undefined symbol: xcb_take_socket" Please run: ldd $(which xinit) or: ldd /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 Wild guess: either we screwed up badly while checking the symbols, or you have some local libxcb installed under /usr/local. If that's the latter, I'd suggest removing it, running ldconfig just to be sure. And you should be set. Mraw, KiBi.
