 Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2003 2:09 am Post subject: startx problems |
 |
|
Let it be known that I am a newbie to linux and I decided that my first go was going to be using gentoo. With that said.
I did emerge xfree, everything went well...LONG, but well. Then I did /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs86config and wrote the new XFSCONFIG file.
Then at the promtp I type startx but I get
"-bash: startx: command not found"
So I search through the dirs and found it in /usr/X11R6/bin. At the prompt I type: ./startx and get the following errors...
./startx: line 133: xauth: command not found
./startx: line 134: xauth: command not found
./startx: line 133: xauth: command not found
./startx: line 134: xauth: command not found
./startx: line 140: xauth: command not found
./startx: line 143: xauth: command not found
so I figure xauth is a mod...but when I do emerge -p xauth ther eare no masked or unmasked ebuilds of satisfy "xauth"...
Can anyone point me in the right direction...Thanks |

I don't know if this will help but the first time I built X it wouldn't run for me either. I had to reboot first. Now I suspect that running
| Code: | | source /etc/profile |
would have fixed it without a reboot. |

I read a german thread about this problem. It can be found here:
http://www.tutorials.de/tutorials71872.html
Maybe you could just write down your startx script code and compare it with the one of the guy from the mentioned thread.
| Code: |
authdisplay=${display:-:0}
mcookie=`mcookie`
for displayname in $authdisplay $hostname$authdisplay; do
if ! xauth list "$displayname" | grep "$displayname " >/dev/null
2>&1; then xauth add $displayname . $mcookie
removelist="$displayname $removelist"
fi
done

If you need support on understanding the german stuff on that thread just drop me a line: kerstner@sbox.tu-graz.ac.at
Hope that helps...

I think I found the solution to your problem:
| Quote: |
I searched Google Groups for a solution and found that /usr/X11R6/bin actually needed to be in my path. So, I edited .bash_profile in my home directory and changed path to: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin. I can now type startx at the command line to load the X-WIndows graphical interface. I have set Gnome as my default environment by issuing switchdesk GNOME.
