X can't read lock file

After a recent update of X, following error occured by running startx:
Fatal Server error
can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock
Has anybody an idea how to solve this problem?
PS: sry for my bad english...

Yep, I was root, and I'm wondering too....
I also tried to delete the file using the inode number, no success.
Everytime an application wants to access the file it gives me an: "stale nfs filehandle" message, but I don't even use nfs.

    If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

  • How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

    How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
    I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document.  When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
    It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
    The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
    Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
    This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.

    hi there
    try the vi
    ..vi.lib\platform\browser.llb\Open Acrobat Document.vi
    it uses DDE or the command line to run an external application (e.g. Adobe Acrobat)

  • How can I read a file with ASCII Special Character into a SQL table using SSIS 2008?

    I've tried everything to read this file and am getting no where.   Help how can I read this file and load a SQL table?
    RS - AscII - 30  (Record Separator)
    GS - AscII - 29 (Group Separator)
    Thank you for your assistance - Covi
    Mark Covian

    We can use script component as source/transformation to read the text file and assign the contains to a string. Split the string by chr(30)  i.e RS and finally stored into an array or write to the output buffer of the script component.
    For example on how to use script component refer this link

  • Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files.

    Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

    Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
    It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
    If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

  • How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname?

    I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
    <p>1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?
    <p>2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.
    (ex. how can I read the 120th line?)
    <p>Please help!
    <p>sorry for the bad english

    I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
    1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?You need to know the URL of the file. You need to know the hostname, port, protocl and relative path.
    The hostname is server, not file.
    2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.Use the seek() to get to a random byte.
    (ex. how can I read the 120th line?)The only way to find the 120th line is to read the first 120 lines. You can use other file formats to find the 120th line without reading the whole file but to need to be able to detremine where the 120th line is

  • I can't read a file with the ext PDF the sender informed me that the file was reset to PDF.

    I can't read a file with the .ext PDF the sender informed me that the file was reset to PDF. But when I tried to open it the caption box informed me"the file is not in PDF format. I suspect the sender simply changed the file .ext which is why I can't open it! What can I do about it! I am working on an iPad.
    Thanks
    Mr Jim Lapthorn

    If the document is not, in fact, a PDF, then you will need to get your sender to provide a PDF.
    Can you open this document in any other application?

    my light room 5 can't read my file on my MacBook Pro and my iMac I already update my camera raw on ps cs6  any help with this issue pls

    If the error message is “files cannot be read” then this is usually a problem with the destination at the right of the destination import panel.
    If the issue is something different than not being able to import then please give a more detailed description.

  • I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

    I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

    As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
    Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
    Thank you.

  • Can't read HD files with QT on Intel Mac? (only got sound)

    Alright so it seems like quiktime can't read HD files completely since it still manages to read the audio.
    I'm wondering if someone's got a solution for this...the files are in .mov format.
    Thanks

    They are HD video files uploaded from a Panasonic AG-HVX200 camera.
    They are imported in .mov format, I guess they should be working in QT but it can only read sound.
    These files work in final cut though.
    thanks

  • Can't read image file

    Dears,
    I was having forms version 10.1.2.0.2 and I was using webutil to upload an image and to download it. My problem is sometimes the image files are uploaded and sometimes not => I got "Can't read image file D:\...\image.jpg"
    I upgraded to forms 10.1.2.3 and the problem persists.
    I'm seeing that the picture resides in the workspace environment and not uploaded to the database.
    I'm not limiting the size of the pic in the frmweb.cfg file, instead this limitation occurs on form level.
    Hint. If you save this picture in "photoshop" tool, than you can upload the same picture without any problem.
    Any suggested help will be appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Joe Farah

    Yes dear, this is the way that we can follow in order to get rid of this problem. Actually we have to mention to all users of my system to save the image file in this tool. But, it's somehow cumbersome for them as they might not have any of the mentioned imaging tool on their systems, isn't it ?
    But isn't there any way to fix this problem ? Or shall I go by using PJC/Java Beans ? We have to find an effective way.. :)
    Thanks,
