Category: Other Group: 0.65.0 Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: xilon (xilon) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Connection to X Server Failed Initial Comment: After installing blackbox-0.65.0 and running the command 'blackbox' I get the following message: BaseDisplay::BaseDisplay: connection to X Server failed After that message I attempted to run blackbox from inside X, in the xterm console I typed in 'blackbox' and got the following message: BScreen::BScreen: an error occured while querying tyhe X Server. another window manager is already running on display :0.0. Blackbox::Blackbox: no managable screens found/aborting. Also, for some reason I can't find what I believe to be the main blackbox directory. I found the '/usr/share/blackbox' directory, but it doesn't have all the subdirectories listed in the blackbox man file, so pointing out where the main directory is would be helpful (I am assuming the main directory was installed, since there were no errors during installation). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2004-08-05 20:00 Message: Logged In: NO the way i got this fixed is to edit the xinitrc file and remove all starting programs (down at the bottom of the file) and insert [path]/blackbox ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ciprian Popovici (sfrowd) Date: 2004-04-16 04:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=667423 The first error appeared because you tried to run Blackbox without X being started. The second happened because you tried to run Blackbox with X started, but there was already another window manager running; there can only be one manager at any given time. So I suspect you're already using something else for your X desktop. Perhaps Gnome or KDE. With Blackbox 0.65 you'll have to give those up if you choose to use it, so be warned (or use 0.70 from CVS, although it's not guaranteed to work perfectly). So you'll have to provide more info about what you're using now and what do you do to get it started (do you do anything? describe what happens when you start the computer until you see the desktop). I could offer some pointers but they may do more harm than good if I don't know what this is about. As for the Blackbox dir, the Blackbox files get spread around under /usr. So look there and you'll see a bin/, a share/ and so on. And under those you will find what you want, for instance /usr/bin/blackbox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2004-04-16 00:05 Message: Logged In: NO is there anybody who knows decision of this problem? please, email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2004-03-31 04:10 Message: Logged In: NO i have the same problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=428681&aid=911799&group_id=40696 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List archives: http://asgardsrealm.net/lurker/splash/index.html Trouble?
