No autostart for X (Solved)
I have Debian wheezy as a guest on virtualbox 4.1.8 (Windows 7). During one of my updates, X stopped loading automatically. I get a terminal login prompt. If I login, and then run startx, everything works fine. I'm not sure how to fix this...can anyone help me?

Re: No autostart for X
What Display Manager do you use?

Re: No autostart for X
If you didn't manually install one, Gnome's display manager is gdm. Can you please post the output of:
Code: Select all
apt-cache policy gdm3

Well feeling a little foolish.....I don't know where it went, but after reinstalling gdm3, everything is fine. Thanks for fixing my brain fart!
