Version 0 of X server insecure: unmanaged local console

Updated 2001-06-27 16:06:55

Purpose: Help with the error message:

    X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization)

for those users who are launching X themselves and need either a display manager or some good means of generating session keys.

Does anyone who uses the console use non-X11 graphic applications? (Using the console as a dumb terminal doesn't count.)

Yes.

  • You have to arrange for multiple window systems on the console. It's difficult to get this to interoperate with a display manager. If you're not braver than I am, go to X server insecure: can't manage the local console to see how to get authorization enabled.

No.
