[SOLVED] "Server is already active for display 0" in Terminals
So far, my searches haven't yielded any solutions to this.
When my system starts, it boots to a console login prompt (no gdm, etc...) and I have 'startx' in my .bashrc to start my desktop. The desktop starts and functions fine (or so it seems).
Problem 1: Anytime I open a Terminal window (or open new tabs inside a Terminal) I am greeted with the following:
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.xinit: Server error.
Sometimes the last line is:
xinit: unexpected signal 2
Usually I just ^C to get a working prompt and go about my business, but this is getting really annoying.
Problem 2: I use Guake terminal and have it set to autostart in my .bashrc, but it doesn't work until I manually open a Terminal window. And if I close that (manually opened) window, Guake stops working. If I open another one manually, it works again...etc. I have a hunch this is related to the first problem.
Any nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.

In bashrc try something like
[ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && startx && {sleep 5; DISPLAY=0:0 setsid Guake; }
