Created attachment 131927 [details] crash report After an XQuartz 2.7.11 crash and relaunch I am unable to open X11 apps again on OS X 10.10.5 without rebooting first. The system.log shows these messages: Jun 13 13:11:15 work3 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (org.macosforge.xquartz.privileged_startx[44386]): Endpoint has been activated through legacy launch(3) APIs. Please switch to XPC or bootstrap_check_in(): org.macosforge.xquartz.privileged_startx Jun 13 13:11:16 work3 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.xpc.launchd.user.501.100005.Aqua): Check-in attempt by unmanaged service: Xquartz.44457 Jun 13 13:11:16 work3.phy.queensu.ca org.macosforge.xquartz.X11.stub[44457]: launchd check-in failed: No such process How do I get XQuartz running again properly without rebooting? TIA - Phil P.S. I have attached the initial crash report in case anyone is interested, but my question is only how to get running again after a crash like this.
Well, I couldn't wait for an answer so I started randomly running apps from /opt/X11/bin to see if any of them could unstick my X11. And low and behold: running /opt/X11/bin/xinit fixed the problem! Then after CTRL-C to stop xinit, and re-launching XQuartz, X11 still works fine! I don't know if this was the right thing to do, but at least it got me going again.
