I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with some tech support on upgrading
to kernel 2.2.7 and mandrake 6.
I was logged in and installing the new rpms that are out at rufus.w3.org and hit a
glitch in KDE. I was thrown back to the login screen and when I tried to restart KDE,
I received an error and it wouldn't start for me. I logged in as root and KDE starts
just fine. I was installing the KDE upgrade packages at the time after having
successfully upgraded the kernel and X11 packages.
The exact error message is as follows:
Authentication failed
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error
This looks like a problem with the pam modules, but I have upgraded them with no luck.
When I use the root login, startx works just fine, but when I use my login, I get the
above error.
Please help if you can. Thanks
