Hi, when I do a subversion commit the following occurs:
Code:
Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Sending        sample.m
Transmitting file data ..

and then locks that terminal. Further, I can't log in as that user until I reboot. If I stay logged in, some things work and others don't. This has been happening for several days, the only way to ensure that I can log in again is to reboot. (There may be other ways but I haven't found them yet.)

One other thing I've noticed: I can't restart x:
Code:
# /etc/init.d/xdm restart
 * Stopping kdm ...
Would send signal 15 to 5260.
Would send signal 15 to 5138.
 * Error stopping kdm     

After rebooting, subversion commits work again for a day or two and then it happens again. Any ideas?

likely the xauth warnings are emitted by ssh, are you using ssh transfers?

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with subversion or kde for that matter; what happens if you don't use X (try clearing the DISPLAY environment variable before mucking with it, or perhaps console?)

Yes, I can confirm they are emmitted by ssh. I included the info thinking ssh could be to blame.

Do you mean clearing the display on the localhost? I guess I don't know exactly what you mean.

This occurs with a remote transfer as well, after which I can't log in as that user anymore or use the terminal. Can I clear the variable in the terminal that crashed...?

Thanks,
