gives an error mesg saying givin up.
Xinit:no such file or directory<errno 2> : Unbleo connect to Xserver.
Xinit:No such process<errno 3>:server 3
How can i fix this problem?
I have attached the log file of the error.
Reading the log file might also be a good idea :-)
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already
running
The server can't start, either because it's not being allowed to bind to port
6000, or because something else already has.
This has been asked a few times before and should probably be a FAQ but no one
seems to have come up with the definitive answer...
Try something like 'netstat -a -b -n | grep -A2 ":6000"' which should identify
any process which is already bound to the socket which the X server wants to use.
Alternatively, you need to check your firewall settings to see if the X server
process is not being allowed to bind to the socket. It's been suggested that
running the X server as administrator might also help...
