Rebuilt my laptop to fix the /var/lib/dpkg/status problem. I install
sawfish-gnome and all it's dependancies, xserver-xfree86 and fonts.
Enter "startx":
Get the graphical grey background (normal X without window manager)
On the console I get:
Audit: Fri Feb 1 07:18:29 2002: 5047 X: client 1 rejected from ocal host
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by Server
Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server
doing a Ctrl-Z, bg and trying to export DISPLAY="localhost:0.0" && xhost +
just says unable to connect to X server.
First time I've seen this one. Anyone?
