For a loooong time now ive had a problem running "startx" as normal user
It runs fine as root though. I log in as normal user, run startx and it will just sit there. ??? Interestingly hitting <CTRL> c ( usually twice ) seems to kick start it, so i assume its hanging on some sub process spawned by "startx" Anyone have any pointers at what i can look at, dont know to much about X fireup yet ??. i had a look at processes and got this johnjl 266 0.0 1.0 2128 1304 tty1 S 11:46 0:00 -bash johnjl 319 0.0 0.7 1876 908 tty1 S 12:15 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/startx johnjl 323 0.1 0.6 2312 824 tty1 S 12:15 0:00 /usr/bin/X11/xauth list johnjl 324 0.0 0.3 1108 408 tty1 S 12:15 0:00 grep -qs Valhalla/unix:0 something to do with xauth maybe ??. thanx
