Dear Knights; 1. Subsequent to my mail appended below, I removed/ purged LXDE. Ran xterm as root, no problem. Copied the xorg conf.new from root to /etc/X11/Xorg tried with the fresh configuration as user, no luck. Used the 'diff' command to compare the Xorg configuration with that of the root account and the user, same problem listed earlier. 2. Checked the space in the root folder 7% utilised only, that's not the problem either. Changed the permissions /temp as well. On thing I noticed the .Xauthority, .Xsessions files created in the user accounts were -r-- --- --- . Changed the permissions for that as well not much help. No .Xinitrc file. 3. Xterm starts up as sudo in the user account, though. Alternatively will reinstall X, but then purging X is tedious. By the by the Processor is a PIII on a zebronic board, have two Seagate hard disks one currently mounted. Any thoughts please, Regards The squire
Earlier mail dt 30 Aug 2014 Dear Knights; I am in the process of installing Debian with LXDE, the root account boots up to the GUI without problems; the user account freezes when startx is run and the Xorg log file indicates inability to run the 'evdev' module and inability to change directory and XKB could not compile. Some help please. Regards Your squire Jacob PS. The solutions on the found on the net are enclosed in the file attached, did not work
sudo chmod 777 /var/tmp usr/share/X11/xkb/compiled/ points to /var/lib/xkb/ which does not exist and has to be created. chmod ug+rwx,o+rwt /tmp do not use numlock
