I just installed debian on a computer for a friend (PIII 500meg ram) and everything has gone fairly well. I installed firefox and thunderbird
and some of the basic programs.
Root can start and run firefox and thunderbird. there is only 1 other user. He can start thunderbird but not firefox. When entering the command mozilla-firefox from the terminal there is a error message.
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!
(firefox-bin:1449): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
How do I correct this situation with the authorization keys? I do not understand what it is referring to, or how to correct it.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Are you starting X via "xdm"? If so, try disabling it ("/etc/init.d/xdm stop") and start X with "startx".
Any difference?
What happens if you create another new user? Does that user have problems also?
What happens if you delete any .xauth -type files in that user's home directory and have him login again and try again?
