Permission Denied Error with X11
Hello,
I am using Tiger 10.4.11 I am trying out the GIMP, so I installed the X11 package from "Optional Installs" on the cd. Whenever I open X11, I get an error: Code:
xterm: could not exec /dev/null: Permission denied I deleted /.xinitrc in my home directory, but as soon as I opened X11 again the .xinitrc file was recreated but still getting the same error. I really have no idea what's going on... Here is a link to what the error looks like: http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/4884/xtermgx7.png Thanks in advance. |

Do you get a similar message when you open the Terminal application?
(/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) If so, the shell specified for your account is /dev/null. Essentially, no shell access. Also, check Software Update for an update to X11. I seem to recall there were some X11 updates supplied that way. Even if you have no shell access it is a good idea to make sure your software is up to date. If you still have issues with /dev/null, you'll need to delve into your account info in NetInfo Manager (/Applications/Utilities/Netinfo Manager) Look for an entry called shell and see what its value is. If the value is /dev/null, change it to /bin/bash (or whatever shell you would prefer). Last edited by [MA]Flying_Meat; 02-02-2009 at 02:03 PM.. Reason: additional info |
