Linux Mint Crashed X-Server after login

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

The other day, out of the blue, i got a problem that in the past already made me format the operating system. While logging in the user screen then i just saw the mouse pointer moving an empty blackness. This time i swore to solve the problem diving into the internet searching for answers.

Tried lots of things and the one the really worked was :

CTRL-ALT F2 then login and do sudo apt-get install —upgrade mint-meta-cinnamon

sudo apt-get install --upgrade mint-meta-cinnamon

the middle of the logged messages i saw python imaging being installed. This clicked my mind and i recalled that latter in the day i had some issues with PIL and that made me remove from system while installing Pillow. So, even if i use virtualenv, sometimes i just do some changes using apt. Next time i will remember that linux desktop systems are mostly implemented in Python…
