ok here's the error

Fatal server error:
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ':0.0'
after 0 requests (0 unknown processed) with 0 events remaining.

hm, let's see if the xserver is still installed, list the packages with:

Code: Select all

dpkg -l | grep x-window

if no packages are listed (it should be x-window-system and x-window-system-core) then install them:

Code: Select all

apt-get install x-window-system-core
apt-get install x-window-system
