SID xwindows
I've been fighting with this problem for the last few days and now it
has taken a turn in the direction of SID X packages.
When I couldn't get tightvncserver to work, I thought it might be that
package, so I installed realvncerver. (everything managed through
official mirror with apt-get)
Well, it still don't work. The Xvnc server crashes everytime it
starts. I start it with % realvncserver and then grep the process and
it isn't there. .xsession-errors shows the following:
Xsession: X session started for bill at Mon Sep 5 14:05:40 CST 2005
xrdb: Connection refused
xrdb: Can't open display ':20'
I'm wondering if it might have something to do with xhost or xauth. the
xhost command times out and the xauth wont generate any cookies because
it can't open the display.
bill@amd64-1:~$ export DISPLAY=amd64-1:0.0
bill@amd64-1:~$ echo $DISPLAY
amd64-1:0.0
bill@amd64-1:~$ xauth generate amd64-1:0
xauth: (argv):1: unable to open display "amd64-1:0".
So, I go to the console, log in as regular user, start up X, and it
starts fine. Open a konsole window, type xclock, and it tells me "Can't
open display". What kind of problem is it that can't open a display in
the same local desktop environment where it is already running? I tried
setting the DISPLAY var in the konsole window to none, localhost, name
of the system (amd64-1) all to no avail.
After all that, I tried installing the X11 stuff from X.org; again with
apt-get. I think I may have made things worse however.
Does anyone know of any X bugs in the standard SID packages??
Thanks.
Bill
