Re: [Ubuntu] Cannot start X-server, missing libfreetype.so.6

Sounds like you have at least partial file corruption to me. What distro are you using?

You could try reinstalling the missing pieces e.g. for Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libfreetype6

until you regain a working system but it may be that the only safe method is a reinstall. Usually you can ensure /home is not changed so things are not too severe...
