Hi,
I have a PII rawhide system.
Some days ago a strange problem appeared:
When the system starts in telinit 5 mode all users (including root)
can login from kdm, except one user. In this user's case the kdm prompt
reappers.
So, I thought lets isolate the problem. I did telinit 3. Having logged in
as root no problem. But if I logged in as any other normal user and typed
startx, (or xinit) the results was:
Authentication failed - cannot start X server.
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect:
errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
To make thinks as simple as possible I typed Xwrapper and the result was:
Authentication failed - cannot start X server.
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?
Could it be some X bug, a pam bug, or is it due to some devious script which
has been modifying permissions?
(What is that about console ownership? I have checked the ttys. Their ownership
is always appropriately set.)
Thanks in advance.
