Re-posting after waiting a week...
I am still getting an authentication failed trying to 'startx'
as a regular user. I forget the proper way to fix this. I
tried to remove .Xauthority and .Xdefaults but only root
can use X-windows. I also tried to re-install all the
X-windows RPMs with "rpm -Uvh --force X*".
I get the following...
xinit: Connection refused (error 111): Unable to connect to X server.
xinit: No such process (error 3): Server error
I have checked for permissions in /etc/X11/, /usr/bin/X11/,
and /usr/X11R6/ and it had 755 (xload was 711). I even tried using a
new user who has never used X before, but same error occurs.
I need to be able to run MandrakeUpdate. is there a non-X version of this ?
Any ideas on what's wrong and how can I fix this ?
Thanks... Dan.
