[gentoo-user] slim/X11 : waiting for X server to begin accepting connections.
Hi, it seems the powerfail this moring while I was updateing my Linux box has killed / screwed up something. The effect: Slim login manager starts and presents the login screen. It is possible to login but openbox seems not to start - I get the typical cross-cursor in the middle of the screen (but the grey background is replaced by plain black) The last entry in the slim.log is: slim: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections. slim: open_session: Unable to open session: Unable to get information about the calling process I resumed the interrupted update process, I did: emerge xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-keyboard xf86-input-mouse nvidia-drivers I recompiled the X-server. Nothing helps. What can I try else to get X working again? Thank you very much for any (quick;) help in advance! Best regards, mcc

Hi Alexander, thanks for doing a search for me...one feels a little crippled without X, firefox etc ;) Ok, for now I am knowing that I am not alone and that amd64 system are mostly affected. Furthermore startx works fine, slim does not (which does not mean that slim is to blame. May be someone finds what the bug... Thanks again! Best regards, mcc
