Ok to reply to myself: x just quit itself after about 3 mins (too impatient!)... the error is: /usr/X11R6/bin/xinit: Server error. /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/ej/.Xauthority This was working fine, but just today it has stopped working. Only thing i have installed since was sudo. sudo startx works, but loads the root session, i would prefer my own... Any ideas?
