One nice thing about Linux is the error messages are sometimes helpful and
sometimes humorous and sometimes both but rarely neither. This error message
is one of the helpful variety.
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
This is the really helpful part.
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again.
If you are the only user of your system and you can't run X at all. Then go
ahead and delete the file specified in the error message. "remove
/tmp/.X0-lock" You may want to use the "rm" command to do the deletion.
Example:
rm -v /tmp/.X0-lock
Here is a man page for the "rm" command. You can also access the man page
for this command by typing "man rm" on your system. My apologies if you are
already aware of this.
