I made a regular update using update center yesterday on My Samsung NP730U3E with Ubuntu gnome 13.10 and today it won't start. Or rather: it just gives me a black screen. On start up I get to enter my encryption password and everything seems fine. But after the encryption password is accepted it just blanks out.



When I boot into recovery mode and try to boot failsafeX it returns "Fatal server error: (EE) no screens found (EE)"



After booting into recovery mode and "Resume normal boot" I get to the tty1 prompt. If I head over to "tty7", where the graphical things usually are going on I just see this (and it's frozen):
enter image description here



What to do?

Novine's comment on my question indirectly gave me the answer. When I booted into recovery mode, went on by "resume normal boot" and then logged in via tty1 I ran startx. This gave me an error saying there was a parse error in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I then opened up that file and emptied that file from some unnecessary lines I had put in there a short while ago (I saved it all empty).



That made the trick, and everything is now working great! Big thanks to Novine! :)
