startx fails with repeated Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 #197
Comments
I googled this error and found some possible fixes:
Hopefully one or some combination above will get you all fixed up ;-) |
I never managed to get startx to work, but I honestly didn't try very hard either. Use xinit if you don't feel like debugging it. Otherwise, as far as getting startx working (which really should happen at some point), it seems like startx is either ignoring the display number passed to it (and thus failing to connect to :0, or it is some issue with .Xauthority. |
Ahh thanks. Just running xinit worked great. Read my ~/.xinitrc and started mate. I was under the impression that startx did exactly that but with a few extra features. Thanks for all the great work. |
Didn't mean to mark it s closed. Still need to figure out why startx fails. :) |
Agreed. |
Try replacing /usr/local/bin/xinit with the following and see if startx behaves properly:
|
Also in the startx branch. |
Great, now startx is working for me as well (without the startx branch). This is strange. |
I did Xinit and the in the windows typed startx , afterward there was a message to remove a directory which I did with rm command, restarted the comp and all worked fine. |
For what it's worth, startx still doesn't seem to work? |
I'm also trying to run Mate, and it works if I start it with Any ideas? |
Reboot and try again without sudo. |
I believe |
@DennisLfromGA Wow I had completely forgotten about this. Haven't even had my Chromebook for a year or two. Glad it's closed! |
I know, there seems to be a bunch of these that have been fixed and are still hanging around. :) |
Steps I took:
sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t x11
sudo enter-chroot
http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download
echo "exec mate-session" > ~/.xinitrc
startx
It tries to launch, switches to the third tty to run X but nothing shows up. After switching back to ChromeOS there is a repeating line in the X server output.
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key..
Not sure if I am missing anything or is something just isn't working.
