Subject: [Fwd: [Fwd: Unable to Startx Following Upgrade--Error in
Locking Authority File]]

Following upgrade of xorg to version 6.9.0, I have been unable to start
my gnome session. Following reflects my attempts to resolve via
messages to other mailing lists.
My .xinitrc file reads:
/usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session
and the gnome-session is listed as:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 107332 Feb 5 23:52 /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-session
"Hi everyone,
I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0 and just completed weekly upgrade.
Now when I run "startx", I can not connect to the graphical display
window. I simply see the gray screen with the small x in the middle.
I went back to the command line to review the text immediately following
the startx command and the first line reads: xauth: creating new
authority file /home/rperry/.serverauth.8414; then, repeated four (4)
times is the following:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file
/home/rperry/.Xauthority
(skip)
error opening security policy file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
AUDIT: Sat Jan 28...8433 X: client 1 rejected from local host
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
I have no problem running startx as root.
cd /home/rperry
ls -l .Xauthority
-rw-------1 root rperry 112 Jan 28 22:13 .Xauthority
Is there a location that lists the error messages like the one I
encountered? Tried Google and the mailing list archives but wasn't able
to resolve the issue."
One respondent questioned the existence of the .Xauthority file and
suggested I remove it. I did but it returns.
Even access as root is inconsistent. In addition, when I
access via root, the screen resolution is 640 x 480, and it is the only
option available in the desktop screen resolution dialogue box.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob Perry
