X server error

Nik — Wed, 28 Feb 2001 13:05:47 GMT

Hi,
I am getting the following error when trying to login to an Xserver...

[5] % more ~/.vue/errorlog

Wed Feb 28 12:18:18 2001
Workspace Manager: Menu specification UserDef not found

Wed Feb 28 12:18:27 2001
vuesession: Connection to server lost - exiting.

Wed Feb 28 12:18:27 2001
Workspace Manager: I/O error on display:: mydisplayname:0.0

------------
Anyone got any ideas on this one please?

sounds like something in your users $HOME enviroment is set incorrectly .... what happens if whilst logged out of vue you mv $HOME/.vue dir to .vue_orig ? and then log back in ?

If this resolves ....what customisations have occured specific to the affected user that could account for this behaviour ?

Are other users affected ?

Perhaps dr_vue may unearth something ? Also if this occurs as you login to VUE check the following files too !

/var/vue/Xerrors and $HOME/.vue/startlog.

Hi Alex,
I've tried mving .vue to .vue_orig, but I still get the same problem... I think I may try a skeleton profile or something to narrow it down that way... just thought someone might have seen the error before..

thanks,
Nik

Nope ... never seen that one before and nothing like it on HP's internal database ......

Is root affected ? checked networking ? checked any customistations etc reviewed dr_vue output ....

sorry i can't be more specific ..... any other errors ?
