Here's something to try - run a very simple X11 program like xeyes or xbiff using ktrace. After it dies, look at the output using kdump - it might shed more light on what happened. Similarly, /var/tmp/console.log might have something of value. I suspect it might be the case that something is happening which invalidates the XAuthority file, which would make existing connections appear invalid.

Meanwhile, I keep remembering to save frequently and to definitely save before sleeping my machine... 10 Chris Adams 03-29-2003 02:52 PM ET (US) On Friday, March 28, 2003, at 06:31 PM, QT - Rob McNair-Huff wrote: > Chris, no, no process at all will remain running if I sleep and > then wake the machine... Odd - nothing's change $DISPLAY from the default :0.0, right? (That'd be an easy way to add a network dependency) This is quite bizarre - I use X11 all the time on a laptop using DHCP on every interface and I can't make this happen. Chris 9 Dan 03-28-2003 10:18 PM ET (US) I have had this same problem but found a solution. I put my computer to sleep many times each day as I go between classes and switch between different wireless networks (PowerBook G3/Firewire). After you start X11 do an "xhost +" This will allow you to launch new apps after the computer goes to sleep. This is a security hole, but for a system that is constantly moving and getting new ip's it works. Apple needs to map it to localhost and not make things dependant on anything that can change with location. X apps never crash after sleep, I keep gaim running between classes and xterm is up too. X11 never dies, Apple has done a good job. 8 Rob McNair-Huff 03-28-2003 09:31 PM ET (US) Chris, no, no process at all will remain running if I sleep and then wake the machine... 7 Donglai 03-28-2003 08:29 PM ET (US) Yup, the Xserver for some reason shutsdown (almost) every time the computer goes to sleep (iBook in my case), and you can't open anymore X applications (including xterm) until you restart X11. I found that some X applications that are already opened survives the sleep still works. 6 Chris Adams 03-28-2003 07:49 PM ET (US) Does this happen even with a very simple X11 program like xeyes or xbiff? Also - what's $DISPLAY set to? 5 Rob McNair-Huff 03-28-2003 06:41 PM ET (US) Fritz, Yes, I do run DHCP, but the mystery is that I have X11 quit when I sleep my machine even if the address doesn't change. For instance, when I move from my office with a second monitor hooked to the machine and sleep to remove the monitor and then wake the machine up without the external monitor when I get into the living room... 4 Justin 03-28-2003 06:39 PM ET (US) Never seen that problem. I'm running X11 beta 3 and 10.2.4. 3 Fritz Walter 03-28-2003 05:39 PM ET (US) Do you use dynamic addresses (DHCP) that change after a sleep? It seems this is the cause of some troubles. 2 Rob McNair-Huff 03-28-2003 04:46 PM ET (US) I'm getting there.... 1 Kristine 03-28-2003 04:46 PM ET (US) Hello, I think you and your computer should stop sleeping, and you should update the Equinox Project.
