finn user cannot connect to xserver

[helloworld]

Try using xwin not startx.

I am not totally sure finn ever got completely bug fixed.
Not too many people ever really tried it.

before you use xwin (not startx) at the command line prompt use

Code: Select all

xhost +

This will allow the user finn to use the Xserver by adjusting the permissions. See if this works and then we can go from there.

So first try at the command prompt xwin to start the X server and window manager, if that fails immediately type

Code: Select all

xhost +
xwin

To return the X server permissions to the way it started use xhost -

Coincidentally..........
@dimkr proposes.........
Remove the finn user #2302

It's not "experimental" as loginmanger says, it's simply broken. It doesn't work, and I don't see anyone working on fixing it.

I feel sure he would welcome comments.........

I tried experimenting with it and I could not log back in to the xserver.... it said access denied to some files even though I gave my user name and password...

Yep, that's why every change I push is in a pull request and goes through at least one extra pair of eyes.

I think nobody ever used finn, even if and when it worked.

It was a try. I will test out some stuff with user "finn" since it's been a while since I've tried working with this user

apart from that,i got this problem.I was with two displays,i installed the fossapupx64 9.5.iso ,i went into the system well, but i fucked something,so i removed everything and reinstalled it,it booted well ,after the booting was done,nothing showed on my two displays,they seemed like closed(with the first installation,it worked ,i was so sure my displays were good),I was so confused about that,cause i didnt change any hardware and i deleted everything then reinstalled with the same iso file . i even kept the completely same grub config.IN one word, i didnt change anything ,but nothing showed on my displays,they just kept black

What are you installing Fossapup64 9.5 on?
CD/DVD, USB drive, Internal drive?
How are you doing the install?
Using what installer program running in what operating system?

i even kept the completely same grub config.IN one word, i didnt change anything

That could be the problem.
With a new install you need to install everything new.
When you deleted or removed the old install, there is a chance you did not get everything.

I can tell you how to make sure, but I need to know what you installed on, to give good info.

Is the old Fossapup save still someplace on HDD?
If yes.
Delete it.
Try normal boot again.
