My roommate and I just set up a fedora install on a computer and trying to set it up with some server application as well. However, we can't get X11 to forward, with a number of random errors:
$ fluxbox
Failed to read: session.ignoreBorder
Setting default value
Failed to read: session.forcePseudoTransparency
Setting default value
and a bunch of other hoop-la like that, followed by:
BScreen::BScreen: an error occured while querying the X server.
another window manager already running on displaylocalhost:10.0
Error: Couldn't find screens to manage.
Make sure you don't have another window manager running.
Or if we try to start a gnome-session:
$ gnome-session
gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension.
gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256
gnome-session-is-accelerated: No composite extension.
gnome-session-check-accelerated: Helper exited with code 256
** (process:3643): WARNING **: software acceleration check failed: Child process exited with code 1
And a window pops up in Xquartz (I have a mac) that says:
Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover.
And it tries me to log out, which does nothing.
Any ideas?
