Problems installing Stumpwm

Hello, i'm trying to install Stumpwm in Fedora22 and i'm having problem when i do 'startx':

Code:

[amp@localhost ~]$ startx
xauth:  file /home/zorn/.serverauth.3469 does not exist

/usr/libexec/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console

Any suggestions?

Are you trying to run `startx` from an extant X server session (ie, from a GUI)?

It must be run from a console (TTY) screen.

Also, I'm not sure how Fedora works in respect of `startx`, but you may need to write an ~/.xinitrc to start your chosen window manager -- see man startx for more on this.
