Everything was ok until I get a dialog box stating:

failed to start x server(your graphical interface) It might not be set up correctly. Do you want to view the X server output to diagnose the problem.?

Then after that another box comes up telling me:

the X server is now disabled. Restart GDM when it is configured correctly

So ...how do I configure it.

Eventually I get " loading please wait" ... some stuff

Then

Try to reconfigure X server:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

If it doesn't work Try deleting ~/.config/monitors.xml

rm ~/.config/monitors.xml
