Xorg - The executable of the X Window System server.
Start an X session with support for multiple displays. Start an X session at 100 dpi (dots per inch) resolution. Start an X session at 16 bits color depth. Typically a shell script which runs many programs in the background.Ĭlient to run if the user has no. This variable prevents the X server, if not given the - auth argument, from automatically setting up insecure host-based authentication for the local host.Ĭlient to run. This variable, if not already defined, gets set to $(HOME)/.Xauthority. This variable gets set to the name of the connected clients display. Description The startx command redirects X server and X client error messages to the file specified by the users If a startup script file name is not given. The system-wide xinitrc and xserverrc files are found in the /etc/X11/xinit directory. If command line server options are given, they override this behavior and revert to the xinit behavior. If that is not found, it uses the file xserverrc in the xinit library directory. To determine the server to run, startx first looks for a file called. If command line client options are given, they override this behavior and revert to the xinit behavior. Inside that namespace, Systemd will be PID1 (as it must, to function) and own all other processes. If that is not found, it uses the file xinitrc in the xinit library directory. You can see this (and get Ubuntu Desktop running quickly) by executing: sudo -b unshare -pid -fork -mount-proc /lib/systemd/systemd -system-unitmulti-user.target This starts Systemd in a new namespace with its own PID mapping. To determine the client to run, startx first looks for a file called.
You may need to specify server options with startx to change the color depth, dots per inch, or a different server layout, as permitted by the Xorg server and nf. The first time I tried I got xauth: file /home/tom/.Xauthority does not exist This is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log 487.270 X.Org X Server 1.17.1 Release Date: 487.270 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 487.270 Build Operating System: Linux 3.19. The special argument " -" marks the end of client arguments and the beginning of server options. The problem comes when I type startx, it doesnt load i3. in login window only 23 second my keyboard and mouse are working. before the login window my keyboard and mouse are good. It is often run with no arguments.Īrguments immediately following the startx command are used to start a client in the same manner as xinit. and I did type startx instruction on my shell. The startx script is a front end to xinit that provides a somewhat nicer user interface for running a single session of the X Window System.
