Hi,
After losing most of my X and KDE installation via a botched update (on
Mandrake 9.1, Pentium III) and restoring it by hand using rpm (and verifying
the installed packages), I am having difficulty getting X up and running
again. Startx hangs, and upon killing X from root, I get these messages:
xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): unexpected signal 2.
I believe the first message refers to the never-created /tmp/.X11-unix/X0, the
socket that X is supposed to open to accept connections. I've run strace on
startx (and the processes forked from it) and find that the process that's
intended to start the X server gets into an endless loop, one iteration of
which I've posted below. I have a feeling that this is an authentication
problem but, beyond that don't know what to make of it. Perhaps someone has
had a similar experience and can shed some light...
Many thanks!
