[SOLVED] error message on remote startx

windstory · 08-09-2013, 11:58 PM

I have a problem in connecting remote Linux with local windows through ssh and kde using xmanager. The remote Linux is Centos 5.4 x86 and local windows is Windows 8 x64.

The error message on ssh is this.

Quote:

[terauser@terauser ~]$ startx
xauth: creating new authority file /home/terauser/.serverauth.23828

Fatal server error:
PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server.
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
giving up.
xinit: unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console

Any helpful comment would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It seems to be a somewhat common problem with Centos, try looking here:

Scroll down to #10

Another possible solution is found here:

Thanks a lot, but I'd resolved by this commands.

- touch /var/lock/console.lock

Really? By changing the timestamp? Ok, whatever works!
