Angry "unable to connect to X server: Connection refused" after setting up Git on Raspbian Buster


Hi,

I was working on my Raspberry PI 4 with Raspbian Buster
and today I installed and set up Git by these commands :


$ sudo apt-get install git-all
$ git config --global user.name <myname>
$ git config --global user.email <myemail>
$ git config --global core.editor vim


And then I turned off my RP, after that, Raspbian doesn't start with X11.
Whenever I try to execute startX, it doesn't start with some error messages like :

.....
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error

Why does this kind of things happen and how can I restore my system?

Please somebody help me out.

Hi, Welcome to LQ. I'm on my RasPi here. For X not starting unable to find itself, this is the 1st thing to check:

Code:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost
This line
Quote:
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
is a connection to 127.0.0.1
