Can you post the output of

Code:
groups laytonj

and

Code:
ls -la /dev/tty0

Also, have you tried booting up with a previous kernel? I know some of the latest updates installed a new kernel and maybe your server hardware doesn't play nice with it.

Groups laytonj yields-
laytonj: laytonj adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare

ls -la /dev/tty0 yields-
crw--w---- 1 root tty 4, 0 Jan 4 09:18  /dev/tty0

I have not tried booting with a previous kernel. I'm not really sure how to do that.

Well, permissions look fine too Sad

See if booting from a previous kernel works for you. To boot from a previous kernel, just press and hold SHIFT key while the computer is booting (right after POST) before GRUB starts loading. This will bring grub options. Select Advanced Options and an older kernel from the kernel list.

Sorry for the delay. I got a bit of a flu bug and was out sick.

I'll try that but other than that is there an easy way to just automate the sudo startx thing?
