Platform: Intel PII 233 debian sarge (testing/unstable) xserver-xfree86 4.2.1-12.1 kdm 3.1.3-1
I have an X server using kdm to handle sessions on the Ctrl-Alt-F7 display, and I'm trying to start a second X server also handled by kdm on the Ctrl-Alt-F8'display, using xinit. The xinit command writes out the following error message multiple times, before it dies: AUDIT: Sat Dec 6 09:56:19 2003: 29803 X: client 1 rejected from local host Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified .. >From the error message it looks like the problem is releated to the X server on display :1 disallowing access to kdm. Is this a correct assumption? If so, how to I open access? Some details: I've logged in as root on the Ctrl-Alt-F1 console, and am trying to use the following command: xinit -- :1 -query localhost -auth /root/.Xauthority What happens is that the Ctrl-Alt-F8 display gets an X background and an X cursor, however no kdm login dialog is displayed. On the Ctrl-Alt-F1 console, the following is written multiple times: AUDIT: Sat Dec 6 09:56:19 2003: 29803 X: client 1 rejected from local host Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified .. until the xinit program finally dies with the following output to Ctrl-Alt-F1: giving up. xinit: unable to connect to X server waiting for X server to shut down xinit: Server error. As far as I can tell from the /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc, the /etc/kde2/kdm/kdm-config, the /etc/kde2/kdm/Xaccess, and the /etc/X11/fs/config files, kdm should be listening to XDMCP requests. I also get the following netstat result: # netstat -ua | grep xdmcp udp 0 0 *:xdmcp *:* The commands I've tried, are: xinit -- :1 -query localhost xinit -- :1 -query localhost -cookie 1234 xinit -- :1 -query localhost -auth /root/.Xauthority with the same results on all commands. The .Xauthority cookie on /root/ was created by just running xauth with no arguments. I have done something similar on the same machine back in March. But I can't remember the exact command, and it was (probably) on a different version of XFree86. Does this ring any bells for anyone? Are there files I should post? The XF86Config file? The kdm config files? The XFree86.1.log file? Thanx! - Steinar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
