No programs will launch after disconnecting from a network connection

kamrava · 2014-05-04 09:02:15

When I disconnect a internet network(WiFi or Wire) and disconnect (or reconnect), no programs will run and gets me following error:

[kamix@localhost ~]$ gedit
No protocol specified

** (gedit:5064): WARNING **: Could not open X display
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(gedit:5064): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0

I've tested those on Xfce and KDE both has this problem.

How, specifically, do you do that.
Also, are you issuing the gedit command from a terminal or a console?

You can see the problem in this screencast :

Any helps would be great.

No one has the time to go through your screencast. Not to mention, people like me who have all media related websites blocked from their network at work.

If you cannot be bothered to take the time to describe your problem correctly with logs and useful information, then I guess no one will be bothered to help you out. Please learn how to ask questions the smart way !

@ kamrava,

It seems that NetworkManager is somehow interfering with X. I would suggest you first start by disabling NetworkManager, and assign an IP manually to you network interface. Then check if you can reproduce the issue.

PS: By the way, take heed of what @ Inxsible said. Your video was way too long, and instead of writing about your problem in a Text editor inside a video, you should post the relevant stuff here.

I tried watching the screen cast. None of it requires a movie. It's a movie of watching text being typed (slowly) into a text editor.

Just post that text here.

How do you start your X Session? Do you use any sort desktop sharing/remote x server/etc?

`~/.xinitrc`

#!/bin/sh
#
# ~/.xinitrc
#
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
  for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
    [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
  done
  unset f
fi

 exec startkde
~

No. I don't think so!

@kamrava

So, as suggested, try disabling NetworkManager from the beginning:

# systemctl disable NetworkManager.service

I disabled NetworkManager. But how do I assign an IP manually to my network interface?!

Read the wiki..

Moving to NC.

orschiro · 2014-05-06 07:41:27

So it does work without NetworkManager?

Then give Netctl a try:
