Hi gang, I have a little mystery going on here that isn't really distro or version specific as I've had it happen to me for many many mandrake releases and in Slackware. But something somewhere somehow for some reason is creating an empty .xinitrc file in my home directory on occasion, and of course the startx command won't work with it present. I delete it mot, but got the bright idea of just sticking a copy of the system xinitrc in ~ in hopes that it wouldn't happen again.
But my curiousity driving me nuts as to what is doing this? I can not find a common denominator or see a pattern. So that's my question, anyone seen this? And does anyone have any ideas what could be doing this and maybe even why? I always run nvidia drivers and start X with startx from init 3 into kde. I have no idea what kind of clues I can offer, but welcome any and all questions in this matter. TIA, -srlinuxx
