KDE: error when starting Konsole
If I start the Konsole in KDE, I get this message:
> Fatal server error: > Server is already active for display 0 > If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock > and start again. > When reporting a problem related to a server crash, > please send the full server output, not just the last > messages. Please report problems to > xfree86@xfree86.org. (15 seconds of waiting) > compaq@compaq_hda3:~$ and from that moment on, the Konsole seems to work normally. If I start KDE as root, I don't get this message Any idea, what's going on and what I must do to prevent this error message and these 15 seconds of waiting? |
if its allready active it sounds like some1 is logged on your system. another user. (but im not sure, i dont have a clue really)
|
Hmmm.
First I login as a normal user, then I say startx to start KDE, and then I open Konsole to log in again. The some1 is the same me! What must I do to get rid of this error message? |
huh?! what did you just say? i Really dident understand that.
did you LOGOUT of your other user be4 you tried to log on AGAIN? |
No. I didn't logout.
I find Konsole to be more convenient to work with than the plain text console like tty1, because I can have more things on my screen in the same time. But how to get rid of the error message. It doesn't come when I initially log in as root. |
ehm... dude, you confuse me BIG TIME. imma say this; after you log ON a user, you have to log OFF him BEFORE you can log ON another user;) good lcuk
|
Have you tried to remove /tmp/.X0-lock that's referred in the message?
|
No.
When should I do that? Before I say "startx" ? |

Or if you notice the error message again, go and check it out...remove and try again I suppose. I wish I could help more, but I use Eterm :D |
ohh fuck, i dident read that. this is waht you do man
rm -rf /tmp/.X0-lock then try again |
