Error when starting X, please help
OK, hope this is in the right forum. I shall start from how it began, I run slackware 10.0 and gnome. Iwas installing some library dependencies for vlc and during this I noticed when attempting to move a folder to the empty basket i couldn't. Somehow my permissions had been changed. I decieded to reboot and I loged in. When i typed startx i got the error message
xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/khronus/.Xauthority ( at the time i thought it was just that and i tried various things like deleting the /.Xauthority file , this didn't work and later I read furthur down in the error and it mentioned 'couldn't lock /tmp/TX.0-lock' ( or something similar ) Anyway, with help from some others i have tried resetting permissions on /tmp resetting owners, and a few other things..so many i cant remember. The current error message I get when going startx is: khronus@jed:~$ startx xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/khronus/.Xauthority xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/khronus/.Xauthority xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/khronus/.Xauthority xauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/khronus/.Xauthority ** I believe this is bit between the stars idue to me running this from putty on this occasion ************************************ _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/jed:0 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 ************************************************************ Error continued: Release Date: 18 December 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.7 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.26 i686 [ELF] Current Operating System: Linux jed 2.4.26 #6 Mon Jun 14 19:07:27 PDT 2004 i686 Build Date: 05 June 2004 Before reporting problems, check wiki.X.Org to make sure that you have the latest version.
