startx errors
Hi, I'm new to FreeBSD. I just installed it and configured XFree86. But when i type startx I get these errors:
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). kernel: pid 476 (XFree86), uid 0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth: argv):1: bad display name "0" in "list" command xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth: argv):1: bad display name "0" in "add" command xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority xauth: argv):1: bad display name "0" in "remove" command Fatal server error Caught signal 11. Server aborting What's my next step for troubleshooting? Thanks. |
Signal 11 is bad news... What version of freebsd is this?
|
it's 5.0. I've tried installing it twice with the same result. The install seemingly goes well but after I configure xfree86 I get this error message.
|
Well it is most likely a hardware problem or a broken iso of freebsd. I suggest you try version 5.2.1 or version 4.10 and see if you have the same problems.
|
no need to upgrade to 5.2.1 unless you want to
check /etc/hosts to see if it matches your internet configuration don't use root accound for X, don't use it.............................. |
