Jeremy,
Oh yes! Thanks for pointing out the crux! As I log in to the root user, and create a testing account called 'test2' (standard), and locate its home folder towards 'Michael's Home', the 'test2' account can't run X11 too!
So, that means if I want to use X11, I have to move my home folder back to the path 'Macintosh HD>Users>Michael'?
And just curious, will X11 support the directory like something 'Volumes/Michael's Home/Users/Michael/' in the future?
Thank you and looking forward to your reply!
Yes, I understand that it is Volumes/Michael's Home/Users/Michael/.Xauthority
As mentioned in my previous post, the problem seems to be your use of single quote "'" and spaces " " in your pathname. Both are highly problematic and should be avoided at all costs... especially for something like your home directory. My assertion remains that this *IS* the source of the problem.
Please file a bug report at http://xquartz.macosforge.org
Will,
I followed this method to migrate my home folder:
So, if I insist on using my home folder on a different partition, then I will need to:
(1) log in as the root user, open a user folder called 'Michael' inside 'Macintosh HD>Users', then use the 'ditto' command in Terminal and thus copying all the files to that newly created folder.
(2) rename the 'Michael's Home' partition using the Disk Utility
(3) use the 'ditto' command to copy all the files from 'Macintosh HD>Users>Michael' to (e.g.) 'Michaels_Home>Users>Michael'
(4) done?
Thank you and looking forward to your reply too!
Thank you all!
Michael,
In other words, you should rename your disk from "Michael's Home" to something like "Michael_Home". I think you'll also need to re-do whatever you did
to move your home directory originally.
