Hello I have just successfully upgrade gnome 2.4 to gnome 2.6. Well, at least that's the message on the screen after upgrade. :) Before the upgrade all was working well. After the upgrade I have some problems. I cannot startx from a regular user login. When trying, I get the following errors: $startx xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority Fatal server error: Cannot move old logfile "/var/log/XFree86.0.log.old" When reporting a problem (blah, blah) giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/robert/.Xauthority $ If I startx from a root login, I get to gnome but it seems to load very slow. I also am not able to su from a normal login to root. $su Password: May 22 06:48:27 bsd-desktop su: BAD SU robert to root on /dev/ttyv0 su: Sorry $ I am running FreeBSD 5.2RC. TIA Robert P.S. If this message was duplicated, I apologize. I received a message from my mail admin that it could not be sent. So I am sending again.
