No, you are throwing piles of unrelated issues at everyone who reads
the lists - and most help does not come from the editors. People
are more likely to respond if you can ask one thing at a time.
Fair enough.
This is now sorted, given your notes below. Logging in as user root in the
console window, starting X as root, then switching to user lfs in an xterm
(I'm using the basic twm window manager), results in the above error
message. Starting X as user lfs allows proper startup of firefox and
thunderbird.
Which brings up another question: How do I set up the environments so that I
can start X with root, and everything will work with other users?
Why would you start X as root, except to test the first time ? Each
user runs his or her preferred desktop.
I don't fully know, except that I'm thinking I'm still in testing mode.
I'm still going back and testing software that was built in chroot, but
could only be tested (make check etc.) in the fully booted system.
I'm still a real newbie at this.
