Expected Behaviour: When I launch XQuartz.app with finder I should see something open in the dock, and an xterm window open, along with a XQuartz specific menu at the top of the screen. Actual: Nothing happens when launching XQuartz.app Software: OSX El Captain (10.11.3) Hardware: MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) i7 I am not sure where I should be looking for relevant logs, this is what is output to system log: ---- snip ---- 16/03/2016 07:50:54.038 org.macosforge.xquartz.X11.stub[5257]: Xquartz: Starting X server: /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 --listenonly 16/03/2016 07:50:56.039 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: 16/03/2016 07:50:58.043 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 16/03/2016 07:51:00.048 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 16/03/2016 07:51:02.058 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 16/03/2016 07:51:04.067 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 16/03/2016 07:51:06.074 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 16/03/2016 07:51:08.082 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 16/03/2016 07:51:10.087 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 16/03/2016 07:51:12.093 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 16/03/2016 07:51:14.101 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 16/03/2016 07:51:14.280 org.macosforge.xquartz.X11.stub[5250]: Xquartz: bootstrap_look_up(): Unknown service name 16/03/2016 07:51:15.107 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: waiting for X server to begin accepting connections 16/03/2016 07:51:15.108 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: /opt/X11/bin/xinit: giving up 16/03/2016 07:51:15.108 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: /opt/X11/bin/xinit: unable to connect to X server: Operation timed out 16/03/2016 07:51:15.108 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: /opt/X11/bin/xinit: server error 16/03/2016 07:51:15.120 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]: /opt/X11/bin/xinit: unable to connect to X server 16/03/2016 07:51:15.121 com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5133]) FairPlay decryption failed on binary. 16/03/2016 07:51:15.421 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5312]: expr: syntax error 16/03/2016 07:51:15.423 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5312]: expr: syntax error 16/03/2016 07:51:15.439 org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[5312]: xauth: file /Users/ed/.serverauth.5313 does not exist 16/03/2016 07:51:15.487 org.macosforge.xquartz.X11.stub[5429]: Xquartz: Unable to locate waiting server: org.macosforge.xquartz.X11
Ok so it seems to be related to my default shell being zsh. adding a ~/.x11run with a bash shebang fixes things Looking at /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 it looks like it is trying to support a bunch of different shells.... wouldn't it be safer just to always use bash in this script? ---snip--- #! /bin/bash exec /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin - /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin
No, the point of the script is to spawn the server in a login environment for the user's default shell. AFAIK, zsh should work fine with it. What was the problem? Can you offer a solution?
