Ubuntu 10.10 now boots only to the terminal screen

Try pressing CTRL+ALT+F7 should take you back to the GUI.

Try command "sudo startx" and report error messages.

The error messages are:

xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2) unable to connect ot server
xinit: No such process (errno3) server error

Prior to these error messages, there was a lot verbage regarding checking directories and logs and then the message "gave up"

The other suggestion by Aruna P. "ctrl-alt-f7" did not work.

Thanks

xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2) : unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error

Do you have previously:
   ximit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "x" in path
The first error message is usually the most meaningful.
