Can't get into the X system

macondo · Mar 20, 2013

Code:

Error: Xauth: (argv):  bad display name "foo.cpe.cableonda.net : 0" in "remove" command.

Is there a file that I can edit in order to solve this and if so, an example would help.
Thank you.

FreeBSD 8.3

What do you mean by "Can't get into the X system"? Exactly what are you attempting to do, what command(s) are you running?

I'm attempting to enter the X system, I'm in the console.
$ startx

I forgot to mention that I've installed:
xorg, jwm, nano, et. al.

Thank you adamk, I'll have to disconnect this tower and connect the old box where I installed FreeBSD.

Hmm, I don't think I can do that

I'll try sysinstall or reinstall, I know where in the installation this error occurred.

Finally, after reading the sticky about Configuring X from DutchDaemon i was able to enter the X system.
Thanks, pal.
