Hi,
This looks like an authentication problem, since it says "xinit: Connection
refused..." You can try deleting (or renaming) the .Xauthority file in your home
directory. This contains MIT Magic cookie information authenticating the user to
connect to the X server. You can have this problem if you change your computer's
domain name. If missing, it is automatically generated.
Good luck!
