Hi,
I just installed Debian on a fresh workstation but only root can open
a X session. First I tried startx using a normal user but it
complains:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be running with root permissions.
You should be using Xwrapper to start the server or xdm.
We strongly advice against make the server SUID!
I am unable to find Xwrapper and xdm doesn't let me login. Xdm
restarts immediately after I type my password. The logfile xdm.log
reads:
AUDIT: Mon Sep 3 16:00:00 2001: 599 X: client 2 rejected from local host
Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
..
I removed the .Xauthority file, but that does not help. Does anybody
know how I can fix this?
TIA,
Remco
