I need a little help.
When I boot xubuntu, I'm getting a message:

Could not start x server (your graphical environment) due to some internal error. Please contact your system administrator or check your syslog to diagnose. In the meantime this display will be disabled. Please retart GDM when the problem is corrected.

Boot up in command line mode ( Failsafe ) and execute startx command. Post error message here.

Boot up in Recovery Mode and run fsck command on each partition.
