Package: gdm
Version: 2.4.4.7-3
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver
Hello,
whenever I start gdmflexiserver, a message pops up saying:=20
Cannot start new display
The X server failed. Perhaps it is not configured well.
This happens on a newly installed maschine. The file XF86Config-4 did
not change however and in the old installation (with the same version of
gdm) the command succeeded.
The command writes the output of "/usr/X11R6/bin/X :-1" to
/var/log/gdm/:-1.log:
Bad display name: -1
use: X [:<display>] [option]
-a # mouse acceleration (pixels)
-ac disable access control restrictions
...
If I run gdmflexiserver with the option -d, it prints:
Sending command: 'VERSION'
Got response: 'GDM 2.4.4.7'
Sending command: 'AUTH_LOCAL 0a66f9bc921aa327a8001b05478a3cdc'

Got response: 'OK'
Sending command: 'FLEXI_XSERVER Standard'
Got response: 'ERROR 3 X failed'
Sending command: 'CLOSE'
If I add option -n, the output is:
Sending command: 'VERSION'
Got response: 'GDM 2.4.4.7'
Sending command: 'FLEXI_XNEST :0.0 1000 f0918a11ecd5a0e06134a9b7bd070d69 /=

Got response: 'ERROR 3 X failed'
Sending command: 'CLOSE'
The information logged to syslog is:

I am able to start a new instance of X with the command
/usr/X11R6/bin/X :9
(as root)
My X cookies are ("xauth list"):

cepheus/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 0a66f9bc921aa327a8001b05478a3cdc
In the old installation the version of libgnomeui-0 etc. was only 2.4.*,
but I don't think, this is the problem.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Uwe

You can't reproduce it, I can't reproduce it, that's enough to close it.
