Re: I can't access to X server

You will need to describe the exact problem you are having and post any error messages.

Re: I can't access to X server

Not sure what "can't access desktop" means, but perhaps you have been bitten by the KDE update. See this for more hep:

Re: I can't access to X server

Hello.  You'll need to give us a lot more details than this if you want us to help.

What exactly happens when you try to boot up?  Any error messages or weird beeps?  Do you remember what packages or things were upgraded or any other information which might be helpful?

Re: I can't access to X server

Please use better post title than "hi all".
Please provide more details on "I cannot access my desktop".
Login into console and try starting X manually. There is a X logfile in /var. Maybe that will  give you some hints.

Re: I can't access to X server

Ok, you are right..........;) I hoped you are wizards lol:lol:

Since yesterday I was running kdemod 3 with graphical autologin, then I updated all packages with pacman -Syu and now autoligin doesn,t work.

I do manual login with startx, but nothing appears

So, the only errors lines I can read after startx are:

error setting MTRR Inappropriate ioctl for device (25) and
xauth: error in locking authority file /home/pluto/.Xauthority

Thanks

Re: I can't access to X server

Please change the thread title to something more relevant. You can do this by editing your first post.

Re: I can't access to X server

I had a simillar issue some time ago. xdm worked, but when desktop was started it silently died and gone back to xdm. I solved that by simply deleting .Xauthority file.

Re: I can't access to X server

For starters, you can try /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or /var/log/Xorg.log if the file doesn't exist)

edit: And please paste it at a service like nopaste or pastie

Re: I can't access to X server

To determine whether this is a KDE or X issue it might be usefull to edit  your .xinitrc, comment out everything except a single xterm and startx then.

btw. this seems like simillar problem.
