I’ve seen a few forum posts that state that you will need to make sure that xserver is installed, try the command “sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg” Also you may want to verify the permissions and ownership of xserver, you may want to try, sudo chmod a+s /usr/bin/X /usr/bin/Xorg References: – http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/xinit-x-problem-237498/ – https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo I hope this helps. - Scott Hi John,

Also you may want to verify the permissions and ownership of xserver, you may want to try,
sudo chmod a+s /usr/bin/X /usr/bin/Xorg

I have tried to use it to setup xubuntu desktop. I think I have done everything but I can't get the GUI interface xfce to work on the server it says Fatal server error: no screens found xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. Any idea of what I can try? Great guide. I have tried to use it to setup xubuntu desktop. I think I have done everything but I can’t get the GUI interface xfce to work on the server it says

The only way I have been successful to 'cut' the pie chart with the circle/ellipse is by using the shortcut divide via the pathfinder control box. You can activate the control menu for pathfinder via: Window > Pathfinder, then select the objects you want to divide (the pie chart and the circle) and Select the Divide Icon on the pathfinder control box. After that all the parts should be grouped, ungroup and delete the undesired parts. I hope this helps. @kfooks, interesting I tried dividing by using: Effect > Pathfinder > Divide and by Object > Path > Divide Objects Below and both methods did not work.

I am lost at that part. Also, I can't seem to delete the unwanted parts once I have the ellipse tool and entire chart selected. I end up deleting the ellipse tool only or the selected slice of the chart w/ the ellipse if I try to delete. Never just the unwanted section.
