Title: Problem Starting X On Debian Etch
Post by: Morninglight on January 14, 2008, 02:51:00 AM

I installed Debian Etch on my 20GB  yesterday evening, from what I followed everything went ok, I booted this morning with the sda2 bootdisc,  but it refused to start X up.

Xenon:~# startx
xauth: creating new autority file /root/.serverauth.2433
xauth: (argv):1: bad display name "Xenon:0" in "list" command
xauth: (stdin):1: bad display name "Xenon:0" in "add" command

X cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting
XX11TransocketINETConnect() can get address for localhost:6000: Name or service not known
giving up.

I added localhost to the resolv.conf but that didn't solve the problem, any idea's?

I used this how-to:

I didn't reboot after install yesterday because it was late, so I turned the xbox off when it asked me to reboot and booted for the first time this morning.

I think it has something to to with startx not finding the hostname, I can ping 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.18 (DHCP) but I cannot ping localhost or Xenon

reinstalling x-window made things even worse, I think more packages failed on installation. Did a complete reinstall and it booted right into X afterwards...
