       Perhaps you do not have console ownership?


When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. Please report problems to xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

giving up.
xinit:  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

a User (or a user from another coumputer) are trying to open a X windows on your desktop. This is not allowed.

Other possibility, you open KDE desktop, you open a Xterm into your KDE
desktop, then su new_user, then XClock (that will open a X windows to show you the hour) but you the system will give you the message "connection to ":0.0" refused by server".


To solve it, use the xhost(s) command (I never remind if there is or not a s as last char). If you are in a sure local area network : hosts * allows avery body from every where to connect on your system.
