Happy Holidays, I have a 2 part question and as always I'd appreciate any and all information!
1: In my .bash_profile I would like to initiate X everytime I login at the console but not when logging in remotely. I experience 2 problems. 1. When I merely enter "startx" in .bash_profile I receive a short delay, then all my usual X stuff but with an error appearing in every xterm. X: you are not authorised to run X server! 2. Secondly, I wish to start the Xserver only when at my computer so I tried to enter this into my .bash_profile and I can't get it to work. What is wrong with it? if [ "$TERM" = "console" ]; then "startx -- -bpp 16" fi 2: I am also requesting suggestions for a study guide/brain candy type book on TCP/IP networking. If any of the Linux/*nix gurus or senior system administrators would make a suggestion I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Ian _____________________________________________________________________ .__. __ __ | | .__. .__. .__. .__. .__. \ \ / / | | | | | \ | | | | | | \ \ / / | | | | | |\ \ | | | | | | \ \/ / | |__ | | | | \ \| | | |_| | / / \ \ |__|__.|__| |__| \____| |_______| /_/ \_\ * DEBIAN GNU/Linux * -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
