LFS6.1普通用户不能登录X-Windows？

satimis

Hi sinclair,

I already solved my problem - start X-window as "user".  If you have not solved yours please try following steps;

Started BLFS 6.1 (assuming it can be started)
Login as "root"
run
# chown --recursive sinclair:sinclair /home/sinclair
(should have no printout.  If there is any, please posting it on the Forum)

logout "root" and "relogin" as sinclair
$ startx

(P.S. in my case, no /home/satimis/.Xauthority file)

Hi sinclair,

Did you run all suggested commands on BLFS 6.1 as "root", not on chroot environment?

root@Fine-Lok:~# /usr/sbin/groupadd sinclair -g 100
groupadd：gid 100 并不唯一

try
# cat /etc/group

root@Fine-Lok:~# chown --recursive sinclair:sinclair /home/sinclair
chown: ‘sinclair:sinclair’: 无效的组

try
# ls -al /home/sinclair

if /home/sinclair directory not found, then run
# install -d -m755 --owner sinclair --group sinclair /home/sinclair


Login as sinclair and run following commands
$ echo $HOME
$ echo $XAUTHORITY
$ xauth -b -f /home/sinclair/.Xauthority
$ xauth list :0
$ xauth -q <<EOF
> add :0 . 1234567890
> EOF

Please post their output on the forum

Finally try
$ startx
also post the output

Hi sinclair,

Fatal server error:
cannot move old log file ("var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old")

It seems the permission problem.

1st run
# chmod u+s /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg

then relogin as "sinclair" and try again
$ startx

If still unsolved, check the permissions elsewhere. e.g. /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old to see whether it is writable.  The permission of /var/log directory 0755?  Is the /var/log directory mounted on a writable partition? (if having several partitions), etc.

Is the HD full?  run
# df -Th

etc.
