Waiting for xserver to begin looking for connections........

05-21-2012, 08:15 AM

Hello Everyone,

I have a strange situation on a fully updated Debian Wheezy Toshiba
laptop.

Using fvwm I startx as user and

get a blank screen

I hit the power off button and the screen shows this message before
turning off:

waiting for xserver to begin looking for connections

no protocol specified

no protocol specified

If I log in as root, all works as it should and the GUI starts as it
should.

I have googled and though I find some references to the problem,
including a bug report. Cannot find anything that is specific to my
own problem, or maybe don't understand what is being discussed.

I have had this problem intermittently as user for some time. But
rebooting usually gets me back into the GUI after the startx command.

I'm not certain if this isn't a permission problem that has developed
for some reason.

The update earlier today I think, did upgrade the xorg packages? Maybe
nothing to do with that though?

I thought at first it was hardware breaking down but
when it works without a glitch as root user, that would appear to rule
out a hardware problem.

I'm ready to reinstall, but maybe it can be fixed, if someone has any
ideas they would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Charlie

Does it look exactly the same as if you had logged in as yourself?

I just tried startx as root and amazingly I get a GUI. (Never used to,
got a message about can't startx as root or something similar.)

But it looks completely different to the GUI I get when I startx as me.
And yes I am running fvwm.

Now you can't startx as yourself permanently, it fails everytime?

For a start, please post exact output of following commands.

-------------
ls -al .x*

grep -v ^# .xsessionrc

ls -al .fvwm/

startx

---------------
If the startx command gives a blank screen, try pressing alt-f7, or
alt-f8 if no good. Does pressing ctrl-alt-f1 take you back to the
console?

If you get back to the console copy and paste the output, it should be
the results of you typing startx, if you typed startx from tty1

Once you are at a console, even if you have to reboot to get one:
Type the following commands as root: (please copy 'n' paste exact
output.
----------------------------------
grep (EE) /var/log/Xorg.0.log

lspci -vv | grep VGA

----------------------------------

It does, just doesn't use the .xsession file to start the applications
I want as user.

I think that would depend if you allowed root to login when you
installed the system in the first instance? Can probably maniplate that
after the install I assume?

No, root is the same as user for me.

It fails every time, and allows me to log in as root into the GUI
without problems.

The reinstall of the system with the Wheezy netinstall disk gives me
the same problem. Can startx with the GUI as root, but user presents a
black screen with the same command.

I have to use the US mirror, because I received an error from the AU
mirror, something to do with some packages have no headers or something?

I installed another WM, icewm and I have the same problem. Can get the
GUI with root, but black screen with user.

So it must be something in the /home directory, because that's the only
directory that I didn't format.

If it was in the software, it should stop me from bringing up the GUI
in root as well?

I might have to knock out the "." files in my /home directory one by
one to discover which one is giving me the problem?

I'll have to write these down by hand from the login terminal, but once
done I'll put them into this email.

I don't have one of the above, just .xsession should I have
an .xsessionrc?

If I do that, for each keystroke applied I get the error message: no
protocol specified

Using tty1 I can't get back out or in. Or I have no way of knowing how
to do that. so I shut it down at the turn on/off button.

That I can do as root, and get a copy, because I'm in the GUI.

I will get it back to you. I have to get back to the other machine
first though.

Thanks for your time.

Any clues in .xsession-errors? (Please don't send it to the list, its
too big.)

To clear a logfile safely type:
:> logfile

> > grep -v ^# .xsessionrc
>
> No such file

rename .xsession as .xsessionrc and then try again.

FYI
(If I rename my .xsessionrc as .xsession, startx doesn't work, it bails
out and I end back at the console)

The idea is to get a log of the faulty session.

1) startx as user.
2) When fails, reboot.
3) Don't startx as root, but become root and then type:

grep (EE) /var/log/Xorg.0.log

This should show the log errors of the just failed session.

> Hope this is what you wanted. I made the spaces in the last entry.

Mmmm, looks like same chipset as mine, although I've an old DELL inspiron.

I hope you didn't copy it down by hand?

You can redirect output to a file like so:

lspci -vv | grep VGA > lspci-output.txt

and then just attach lspci-output.txt to the email.

Have you altered/edited any configurations under /etc/X11/?

The present one certainly is, but he could delete it and restart X to
get something more modest in size.

I forgot to mention that but instead of deleting it, it is safer to
":> logfile" in case of race conditions etc.

No change at all, same ting happens.

Thanks for your help Chris and you also Brian. But I think that it's
something to do with my /home partition and I'm going to format it and
reinstall again and see if something changes.

I have backups of the files and data, so will not lose anything.

Thanks for your help. It's appreciated.
