[02:17] beingmrkenny: parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/ [02:17] beingmrkenny: then just type plain "startx", and let us know the output [02:18] oh right, first I lose the maerk@ubuntu thing, then it tells me there are timeouts waiting for locking authority file# [02:18] /.Xauthority [02:18] can you paste the exact output?
