Hi All,
Fedora 40
Xfce 4.18
Yes, I have googles (search.brave.com) this.
Xfce won't start with startxfce4 but will with startx.
This is the xinit (same as the startxfce4 error)
error I am getting:
$ xinit
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
(EE)
(EE)
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
(EE)
No protocol specified
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Resource temporarily unavailable
xinit: server error
removing /tmp/.X0-lock does no good.
I put some echo's in both startx and startxfce4 to see
what the difference is:
startxfce4:
if [ -f $BASEDIR/xinitrc ]; then
echo "exec $prog $BASEDIR/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num}" >
/tmp/startxfce4.if.run.string.txt
exec $prog $BASEDIR/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num}
elif [ -f $HOME/.xfce4/xinitrc ]; then
mkdir -p $BASEDIR
cp $HOME/.xfce4/xinitrc $BASEDIR/
echo "exec $prog $BASEDIR/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num}" >
/tmp/startxfce4.elsif.run.string.txt
exec $prog $BASEDIR/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num}
else
echo "exec $prog /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC
vt${tty_num}" > /tmp/startxfce4.else.run.string.txt
exec $prog /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC vt${tty_num}
fi
startxfce4.else.run.string.txt:
exec xinit /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc -- vt3 vt3
startx.run.string.txt:
xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/bin/X :1 vt2 -keeptty -auth
/home/todd/.serverauth.9909
And this shows up like a soar thumb in startxfce4:
I DO NOT have a /etc/xdg directory.
But I do now:
Reinstalled:
xdg-user-dirs-gtk-0.11-4.fc40.x86_64 xdg-utils-1.2.1-1.fc40.noarch
xfce-polkit-0.3-12.fc40.x86_64 xfce4-panel-4.18.6-1.fc40.x86_64
xfce4-power-manager-4.18.4-1.fc40.x86_64
xfce4-session-4.18.4-2.fc40.x86_64
xfce4-settings-4.18.6-1.fc40.x86_64
Still won't start startxfce4 with the same errors.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Many thanks,
-T
