> caused this, but this morning when I came in, the screen was in a
> command line interface and the error message "Unable to start X, doing
> console login instead" was at the bottom of a bunch of failed
> commands. I tried rebooting the machine and the same error message
> appeared. Is there something that I can try to get this up and running
> or can you send someone over to take a look at this for us? It's a bad
> time of year for us to lose this station as our student customers use
> this machine heavily to sign up for meal plans and parking access.
>
> Please advise. And please let me know if there is anything that I can
> do for you. Thanks.
