| Post subject: | R5.5 problem - X never tries to start |
I have an old R5.5 box a friend is running. The box boots, but never attempts to load X. It just boots to the login prompt. If you log in as mythtv and try a 'pkill xinit' nothing happens. There is no /var/log/Xorg.0.log generated at all. How can I manually startx on the system? Both of these commands fail to produce anything: startx xinit EDIT: Does this look right: Code: $ ps aux | grep .Xauthority
mythtv 3161 0.0 0.1 2692 724 ? S 18:33 0:00 xinit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc -auth /home/mythtv//home/mythtv/.Xauthority Why is my .Xauthority in /home/mythtv//home/mythtv Is the double slash and repeat ~ an error? EDIT2: 1) Deleted the .X11-* stuff in /tmp 2) Installed the nvidia driver (see tjc's tips for R5.5) 3) Rebooted and everything worked |
