X server error

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?

Re: X server error

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.

Re: X server error

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

Re: X server error

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 ?
