I am having trouble starting up an X session. I use to have X11R3 working fine on our Sun 3/60 but ever since we repartitioned the disk and restored X from tape I have been getting the following error whenever I try "xinit": Binding Unix socket: No such file or directory Unix Listening: Invalid argument waiting for X server to begin accepting connections......... It then goes on waiting forever until I kill it. I realize that it's something I have changed in restoring X from tape but I haven't been able to figure out what. Anybody have any ideas?

I got this error after repartitioning and restoring a disk, and /tmp was mode 755 instead of 777. -e -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Pearce ARPANET eap@bu-it.bu.edu Boston University Information Technology CSNET eap%bu-it@bu-cs 111 Cummington Street JNET jnet%"ep@buenga" Boston MA 02215 UUCP !harvard!bu-cs!bu-it!eap 617-353-2780 voice 617-353-6260 fax BITNET ep@buenga
