Hi,
I have a problem with my gentoo installation.
I just reinstalled my system from scratch.
My kernel version is 2.6.12 gentoo-sources.
I have the latest stable version of all packages for x86.
Most of my difficulties were solved through google, but I can't find
much useful info for this one, so any help would be appreciated.
When my gdm launches at startup and I try to login as a normal user
(lets call him "username"), I get the following error
(~/.xsession-errors):
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: Registering your session with wtmp
and utmp
/etc/X11/gdm/PreSession/Default: running: /usr/X11R6/bin/sessreg -a
-w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x "/var/gdm/:0.Xservers" -h "" -l
":0" "levashom"
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
/etc/X11/gdm/Xsession: Setup done, will execute: /usr/bin/ssh-agent
-- gnome-session
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Protocol not supported by server
(gnome-session:6801): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I can login as root without any problems.
When I su as username and try to launch firefox (for example), I get
this error:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
xdpyinfo: unable to open display ":0.0".
No running windows found
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
(firefox-bin:7248): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (1)
Somewhere, I saw a suggestion to try to run xhost.
% xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
% xhost +localhost
localhost being added to access control list
% xhost
access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect
INET:mul.mylnet
--running firefox from su still fails--
% xhost [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] being added to access control list
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range
for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 109 (X_ChangeHosts)
Value in failed request: 0xfe
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 9
% xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
-- now I can launch programs from su--
So it seems that this is the problem, yet running with access control
disabled is not what I want, so I am looking for other solutions.
Here are some parameter files that may be useful:
% cat /etc/X0.hosts
localhost
% cat hosts
# /etc/hosts: This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
# On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
# "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses
# and any aliases to this file...
