startx as user seems to hang untill <CTRL>c is hit ?
For a loooong time now ive had a problem running "startx" as normal user
It runs fine as root though.
I log in as normal user, run startx and it will just sit there. ???
Interestingly hitting <CTRL> c ( usually twice ) seems to kick start it,
so i assume its hanging
on some sub process spawned by "startx"
Anyone have any pointers at what i can look at, dont know to much about
X fireup yet ??.
i had a look at processes and got this
johnjl 266 0.0 1.0 2128 1304 tty1 S 11:46 0:00 -bash
johnjl 319 0.0 0.7 1876 908 tty1 S 12:15 0:00 /bin/sh
/usr/X11R6/bin/startx
johnjl 323 0.1 0.6 2312 824 tty1 S 12:15 0:00
/usr/bin/X11/xauth list
johnjl 324 0.0 0.3 1108 408 tty1 S 12:15 0:00 grep -qs
Valhalla/unix:0
something to do with xauth maybe ??.
thanx
