Hi, I got a problem with X windows. I am using Redhat 7.3, and can not start X server now. When logon as user, the error messages are as follows, Fatal server error: PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server. Perhaps you do not have console ownership?
giving up xinit: no such file or directory(errno 2): unable to connect to X server. xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error. when logon as root, the error messages are: Xauth: error in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority Xauth: error in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority Xauth: error in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority Xauth: error in locking authority file /root/.Xauthority giving up xinit: no such file or directory(errno 2): unable to connect to X server. xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error. xauth: error in locking anthority file /root/.Xauthority. I do not know what is wrong with the x server. There is no .Xauthority file in /root. But when I try to mkdir in /root or /, the error messages are: mkdir: cannot create directory "test", no space left on device. But df shows: /dev/sda1 use% is 37%, mounted on / mount shows: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw) Please help me. Thanks a lot and best regards, Ke Ruan Department of Chemistry Johns Hopkins University 410-516-5782 _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
