Now as a normal (non-root) user, run "startx". What happens?
I logged in as my user and ran startx. It returned three lines:
xauth: creating new authority file /home/ken/.serverauth.3110
/etc/X11/X is not executable
xinit: Server error
However, as root user I was able to run startx. KDE opened in terminal
F7 logged in as root without my intervention.
I suspect your /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config file is set to allow root only.
Either edit that file manually to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/westk:> sudo cat /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
# Xwrapper.config (Debian X Window System server wrapper configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by the post-installation script of the x11-common
# package using values from the debconf database.
#
# See the Xwrapper.config(5) manual page for more information.
#
# This file is automatically updated on upgrades of the x11-common package
# *only* if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of that package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command as root:
# dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
allowed_users=console
nice_value=-10
or better yet, do as the file says and run "dpkg-reconfigure x11-common"
and change the setting that way.
The following issue should really be broken out into a different thread:
Run "ifconfig" and see if you have an expected IP address; my first
suspicion is that zeroconf got installed; it tends to cause problems
with networking.
Ifconfig only reports the loop back IP address. The IP address
assigned by the gateway, 192.168.0.114, was not reported by ifconfig,
presumably because the operating system cannot connect to the network.
What happens when you run "/etc/init.d/networking restart"?
What does your /etc/network/interfaces file look like?
