Hello. I was wondering if there was a quick fix to this problem. I tried searching authority file but couldn’t find anything that helped me.
james@linux-akc1:~> startx
xauth: creating new authority file /home/james/.serverauth.3587
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 56: exec: X: not found
xinit: server error.
edit: maybe I can login but I can’t get past the login. sry.
Hi there & welcome!
That error could mean a number of things… so we need some more info on the system you have running, which OS do you have installed and what version?
Did you X environment work before or is this a new install?
If it did work before, what happened just before it broke?
I have this exact same error now!
What I did just before the error: I tried to uninstall fglrx using Yast.
I removed 3 fglrx packages, because I was looking for the source of some graphics problems I had. I wanted to go back to the radeon driver.
After the reboot I can only get into console with the above error.
I can reconfigure my graphics with sax2, but then when i try startx i get this exact problem.
james@linux-akc1:~> startx
xauth: creating new authority file /home/james/.serverauth.3587
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: line 56: exec: X: not found
xinit: server error.
Have you also tried reconfiguring with ’ sax2 -r ’ and/or ’ sax2 -r -m 0=radeon ’ (< or radeonhd depending on your graphics card) ?
the -r option should build you a new config file without any previous faulty setting.
Hope that helps,
Wj
