RE: Error starting garnome-session

[Joseph Phillips <jphillips amphus com>]

I had the wrong permissions on the garnome-session file.  I had 744
permissions on the garnome-session file.  When I changed it to 755, I was
finally able to startx.

Maybe this little tidbit should be added somewhere in the README???

:)

Thanks for the help again!

Something is wrong with the first line of either your .xinitrc or
garnome-session script. Make sure it is exactly:

#!/bin/sh


If that doesn't help, try attaching the two files, makes it easier to
debug.
