Hi,

I tried again to boot the X environment from the Live CD with no joy I did
manage to grab my Xconfig file and upload it to a remote server but I'm not
sure about the rules regarding posting the X log so for now I won't
include it
here. It does seem as though my graphics card isn't supported
said card is Nvidia GTX 970, the log says it couldn't find any screens
attached

"Application/graphical-login/lightdm: default failed: transitioned to
maintenance
(see 'svcs-xv' for details)

Is the error message I see. I did login to the live CD using jack:jack
and try to run
nvidia-xconfig, I also ran startx and same thing happened.

A link the log file

Hope this is more useful.

Thanks

Kai
