I'm having this really bizarre and annoying problem lately with my X install (running KDE4.6 on top). I'll be using my computer without problems, and then I will be unable to open any new windows. If I go into an already-open terminal and attempt to run xeyes (or anything else), I get this message:
tsuraan@localhost ~ $ xeyes No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0 So, somehow I'm in a running X environment, but I'm unable to connect to it. The system was happy, and then something unknown happened, and it became not happy. I unfortunately don't know enough about X to be able to say much more, so I'm hoping somebody can give me some troubleshooting tips. In my home directory, I have a .Xauthority file that is readable by me, and if I run xauth (firing up the program is really all I know how to do) it says it's reading from /tmp/kde-tsuraan/xauth-1000-_0, which is a different file but has the same contents as the one in my home directory. The two files do have different dates though, and the one in my home dir actually pre-dates the boot time of my computer. I'm not sure what exactly that implies. A random selection of installed software versions follows: libdrm-2.4.23 mesa-7.10.1 xorg-server-1.9.4 xf86-video-intel-2.14.0 I'm really hoping somebody can give me some tips to figure out what's going on. My current remedy is to re-start my X session, which is a bit of a pain. Something less invasive would be nice, or if I could actually track down what is causing my X to stop allowing new windows and kill it, that would be ideal. _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
