Subject:   Can't start KDE or gnome as non-root user
Message-ID:  <86pu72gtyj.fsf@pan.home.penguinpowered.org.uk>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hi all,

I have just installed XFree86-4.1.0_10 from ports. I did this by doing
cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4
make install

It works OK as root, but as a user, I can't launch kde or gnome. In my
$HOME/.xinitrc file I have only the following :

exec gnome-session

When I do startx, I get the gray screen. I have to ctrl-alt-bkspc to
get out of that.

Doing startx >> x.out 2>&1 produces the output at the bottom of this
e-mail.

My main concerns are with the lines near the beginning saying 
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name ":0" in "list" command
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name ":0" in "add" command

I have never seen anything like this before. Also, at the end of the
file, I get 
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name ":0" in "remove" command
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name ":0" in "remove" command

Once again, something that I have never seen before :(

I get these errors if I run as root as well, but the system launches
gnome, and does not just stop at the gray screen :(

I have checked, and wrapper is installed. /usr/X11R6/bin/X is a
symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper. Xwrapper does appear to have
setuid bit set.

Any advice as to why this might be happening and what I can do to fix
it, would be _much_ appreciated.

TIA,

--- OUTPUT OF STARTX COMMAND ---

xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name ":0" in "list" command
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name ":0" in "add" command
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name ":0" in "list" command
xauth: (argv):1:  bad display name ":0" in "add" command
