Attach your /var/log/dpkg.log please.

[Anyone (frankleontius)]

Here is that.

[Anyone (frankleontius)]

There's need other things?

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

Hi Frank, thanks for providing that.

Hmm, none of these logs show the error message mentioned in the title, and in fact it looks like X installed properly. What appears to have happened is that the upstart service was not running, and that caused other things to fail:

start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connessione rifiutata

invoke-rc.d: initscript hal, action "restart" failed.

dpkg: errore nell'elaborare xserver-xorg (--configure):

 il sottoprocesso vecchio script di post-installation ha restituito lo stato di errore 1

Configurazione di lirc (0.8.6-0ubuntu1)...

reload: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connessione rifiutata

invoke-rc.d: initscript udev, action "reload" failed.

dpkg: errore nell'elaborare lirc (--configure):
