You will have to understand the "signals" mechanism underlying all that.

A bunch of us got this. The answer that worked for me was to
cd /tmp
rm -rf .X*
startx
Worked great. There has been discussion on the list as to what
is broken so hopefully the maintainers know about it now.

You might try e.g. bug #66225.

The fix as recommended by several folks is to
"rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix"
I trust this information is being passed on to the developers without
a formal bug report.

If /usr and /usr/local are right next to each other, you should be able
to delete both of those, and then recreate a single partition using the
same cylinders that were used for two partitions before.
I have not tried this though Back up your system thoroughly before
you do this.

Greetings to the list,
I know this issue has come up before (I have searched through the
mailing list archives), yet even after trying all of the suggestions in
the archives, I STILL have this recurring problem: I used make-kpkg to
build my own 2.2.15 kernel (using kernel-source package).

I would like to add a script "/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/zzdone" which looks for a
file "MAILONLY" in the Home-directory of the non-root user who invoked
pon, and if this file exists, terminates the PPP session of this
user.
