Having trouble starting X
I dual booted arch with Ubuntu Studio. Needless to say things didn't go 100% according to plan but after a few days of troubleshooting I got the dual boot set up.
However I now cannot start the X server on arch. The knowledge to solve this problem is beyond me and I really don't want to reinstall arch since I only just got everything working again. Any help or input is appreciated.

Re: Having trouble starting X
Have you read Xinit? You appear to be starting X directly which is not the recommended method.
Please also do not post oversized images of text.

Re: Having trouble starting X
Hey thanks for the input. You are right, startx works as it should. Initially it didn't, but at some point it started working after I stopped testing it and started testing the X command (I think I just reinstalled some of my xorg-drivers), so the conclusion is a bit unsatisfying 
. I've never actually seen X work, I only found out about it while troubleshooting.
Anyway thanks again, my issue is now solved.
