Lite no longer starts since last update

As Randomboy suggests.. Should get you back into working desktop...

A thought as I noticed one of my systems display was off - which uses a custom xorg.conf file - you mention "A problem with X"..
I checked my conf file in which it was rewritten.. xorg.conf.DATE don't recall the date(18th maybe) but most likely the date I ran the update. Guess the problem as it left me without a xorg.conf file... Once I corrected my display returned to normal and was actually better..

If you're booted normally where you error you maybe able to confirm.. if you can access a tty (CTRL+Alt+F1) you'll be prompted to log in (do so)
Run the following command: to list the files/folders within the etc/X11 directory, you're looking for an xorg.conf.DATE file and missing the existence of an xorg.conf file

Code:

ls /etc/X11

If you don't have the xorg.conf.DATE file, you may not have been using the conf file in which I wouldn't continue, from here rebooting back to a previous kernel (see randomboys suggestion)
You can reboot by typing

Code:

reboot

If you do see the xorg.conf.DATE file you can reinsert the conf file by copying. Replace DATE with the exact file name..

Code:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.DATE /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Reboot and see if this corrects...

If not and you want to undo.. Log back into a TTY (CTRL+Alt+F1) and remove the file..

Code:

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
