Re: X11 still fails to start on Leopard




Ok, I finally got it. Thanks to Jeremy and Harald.

It actually was a problem with launchd.

In a (desperate) attempt to get rid of X11 I removed too many things (see below). My only concern is: why reinstalling X11User from the Leopard installation DVD did not fix the problem? I would expect it to install and configure such files...

I read that it might be some environment variable but:

I have no DISPLAY environment variable set (at least not that I know...). If I set it before trying anything, nothing changes

This is part of the problem. You should have DISPLAY set (automatically, not by you). it should look like /tmp/ launch-2hKnRK/:0



I haven't such a thing (/tmp/launch.../:0)


Do you have /System/Library/LaunchAgents/org.x.X11.plist ?


Nope!


At some point did you do 'launchctl unload -w /System/Library/ LaunchAgents/org.x.X11.plist'?


might very well be

Try doing 'launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ org.x.X11.plist'


done. first I got:

>launchctl: missing the Label key: /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ org.x.X11.plist
>nothing found to load


However, I compared the org.x.X11.plist with the one I have on my MacBook, and I realized the MB version has 4 entries, while the one I was using (restored from the trash!) has only 1! in particular, the "program" string was missing...

I copied the X11.plist from the MB, and this time the "launchctl load" command has worked.
