Hello Everyone, I have a strange situation on a fully updated Debian Wheezy Toshiba laptop.
Using fvwm I startx as user and get a blank screen I hit the power off button and the screen shows this message before turning off: waiting for xserver to begin looking for connections no protocol specified no protocol specified If I log in as root, all works as it should and the GUI starts as it should. I have googled and though I find some references to the problem, including a bug report. Cannot find anything that is specific to my own problem, or maybe don't understand what is being discussed. I have had this problem intermittently as user for some time. But rebooting usually gets me back into the GUI after the startx command. I'm not certain if this isn't a permission problem that has developed for some reason. The update earlier today I think, did upgrade the xorg packages? Maybe nothing to do with that though? I thought at first it was hardware breaking down but when it works without a glitch as root user, that would appear to rule out a hardware problem. I'm ready to reinstall, but maybe it can be fixed, if someone has any ideas they would be appreciated. Thanks, Charlie -- ------------------------------------- Registered Linux User:- 329524 ********************************************************** What do you want to get enlightened for?
