Can't start lxde from console

Hi, I've managed to install lxde fine but I can't start it through console. I don't have a login manager atm...
When I do use this command:

startlxde

nothing happens...:(

Any help would be appreciated...:)

thanks in advance

Re: Can't start lxde from console

~/.xinitrc

exec startlxde

From console: startx.

See this wiki entry.

Enjoy,
Bob

Re: Can't start lxde from console

Post your .xinitrc then? That is what startx uses to start, so..
Also, post your X log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log).
