Urban Terror on second X server

English Games
#1

Hello

I have a problem. I want to run UrT on second server. I try with Arch Linux method:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Urban_Terror#Running_Urban_Terror_in_a_second_X_server

But it doesn’t work. I use script to launch UrT itself:

#!/bin/sh

# Change the path of the binary to whatever you use to launch 
the game.
# This should be set to whatever you've been using to start 
Urban Terror
# in the past.  For example (2 examples):
# 
URBAN_TERROR_EXECUTABLE="/usr/local/games/UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTerror.i386"
# 
URBAN_TERROR_EXECUTABLE="/usr/local/games/UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTerror.x86_64"

URBAN_TERROR_EXECUTABLE="/home/michal/Pobrane/UrbanTerror/UrbanTerror/ioq3-urt"

"$URBAN_TERROR_EXECUTABLE" +set fs_homepath ~/.urt +exec majki.cfg +set password wykop.pl$*

All I get is error:

Fatal server error:
Cannot open log file "/var/log/Xorg.1.log"


Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
         at http://wiki.x.org
 for help. 

xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error

Anyone has ideas?:slight_smile:

What GUI and Suse version are you using?

#3

11.4, GNOME.

#4

That’s most likely because you are not running the program with the same user that has started the X session ?

I’ve also seen similar behaviour when trying to launch a second X session from within VT7 (existing graphical session). Try running your script from the /dev/tty2 console for example. Jump with Ctrl-Alt-F2, then login (same user), and execute script (or commands from there). Hope this makes sense. Perhaps someone can clarify or expand on this further.
