Parabola: X server unknown error

hd_scania · 12-11-2017, 07:24 PM

I have installed 4 Parabola systems (Parabola is a pacman GNU system, https://parabola.nu) in my same machine in different kernels, hardened, PCK, generic, LTS, EVERY systems are being suffered against X server unknown error, manually commanding startx not restarting, commanding xkill to force kill still not killing, Liri is my only desktop working and based on Wayland server, but no Gtk+ apps are working under Liri, Liri itself is yet alpha (https://liri.io/download).

Code:

My display manager is SDDM which is X and Wayland compatible, but auto running with startx, manually running SDDM is never working.

Code:

My runlevel is always 5 (graphical runlevel), but should this be temp switched to 2 or 3 or 4, as to help to try fixing X issues?

Have you asked on the Parabola site? What did they say?

I would go to runlevel 3, check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log, or as type

Code:

startx >~/Xerr.txt 2>&1

and pastebin it or post it.

It would probably be worth trying as root, in case it's a permissions thing.

Nothing special here but it still dsnt tell where are my errors to us, the indifferent output like that not running under sudo, so dsnt seem to be an issue of my permissions.

Code:

hd_scania@hd-scania.nu ~ $ sudo startx >/data/terminal/pacman/Xorg.122117.log 2>&1
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

And also I have unset my VT instead of 7 (/etc/conf.d/xdm, remains DISPLAYMANAGER=sddm, DISPLAY_MANAGER=sddm, DISPLAY=sddm),
rc runlevel remains 5 and dsnt seem to be related (id:5:initdefault: in both files /usr/share/openrc/support/sysvinit/inittab and /etc/inittab, my init system is OpenRC)
but also exec startlxqt in my .xinitrc, and sometimes XDG_RUNTIME_DIR missing, also having set it to ~/.xdg in files ~/.xinitrc and ~/.bash_profile.

Code:

Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyxinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Resource temporarily unavailable

That seems to be the kernel of it. I would try followinbg these instructions

I have also found a strange stuff, during OpenRC init prompt from a Parabola (a pacman GNU system) kernel to boot Devuan (a no-systemd deb system), and I have found my keypads and mice are frozen, it seems that the session dsnt load the X devices for Devuan, but does this get help to this startx error?

The guy deleted ~/.XAuthority and reinstalled X completely, IIRC. Did you look at the link? If not why ask me?

I have Slackware, not Parabola. But it's an idea for you. If you don't want to try things why did you post the problem?

hd_scania · 12-22-2017, 06:20 PM

I have removed Xauthority and tried to reinstall the kernel with its headers and xauth, xinit, but later reinstall the full X which I need to back to my homepage for all X packages I have instaled.

Code:

rm -rf ~/.Xauthority && sudo pacman -Syyu --noconfirm linux-libre-hardened linux-libre-hardened-headers xorg-xauth xorg-xinit && startx

but I am still facing the same error, it looks that Ubuntu question dsnt seem to work for me, I am OpenRC but Ubuntu is proposed to systemd.

MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 is an xauth bug as informed in the xauth manual,

Code:

Users that have unsecure networks should take care to use encrypted file transfer mechanisms to copy authorization entries between machines. Similarly, the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 protocol is not very useful in unsecure envuronments. Sites that are interested in additional may need to use encrypted authorization mechanisms such as Kerberos.
Spaces are currently not allowed in the protocol name. Quoting could be added for the truly preverse

Now MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 has been disappeared which I have installed the every xorg-drivers, but the X server death is not yet over. What to do this step?

business_kid · 12-26-2017, 08:08 AM

There's ~/.Xsession or something like it to tells you the nitty gritty of how the DE started (My variant is ~/.xfce4-session.verbose-log). There's also /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and I did suggest startx > /tmp/x.err 2>&1

Any of those show any interesting error?
