I get an error “_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can connect: errno = 111”. What does it mean?
Whenever the XFree86 Xserver crashes, dies, ceases to exist or is inaccessible for any reason, you will see this error message. It is a message from an X-client (=any program running on your XFree86 Xserver, for example the window manager) telling you that it tried to connect to your Xserver, but failed to do something for “some” reason. Quoting only this message in a bug report is therefore utterly useless. Look in the server output for the real reason why the server died. Normally you should see the real error message (=why the server stopped working) a few lines before the “error 111” message. If you still can’t make head or tails of all those messages, make sure to quote the FULL server output in your bug report. It is impossible to provide you with any help, if you just mention the “error 111”, as so many people do. Obtaining the full server output is normally accomplished by redirecting both standard output and standard error to a file while starting the server (eg, startx <& log
