PROBLEM SOLVED!!
OWconfig file had been blanked, restored from the trusty .BAK version, all is well now.
Damn!!!
I am at a loss, I can't seem to figure out for the life of me what happened...
First off I think the user screwed it up with sudo privileges, errrr!!
Anyways, here is what has been done to my knowledge...
I know sys-unconfig was ran in attempt to correct a hostname issue. hostname issue looks to be solved but soon after, and I do not know if it is possible but this "X can't start on Display:0" error at the first log in screen comes up.
I did not make any changes so I am at a loss of where to start... besides removing his sudo rights. lol. X used to run, maybe 2 weeks ago it broke.
Any ideas to assist in trouble shooting?
Many thanks.
