startx issues
by Regnad Kcin from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CZBC)
In runlevel=3 with -current (up to date) and Plasma5
I have recently developed a problem that startx does not start KDE5
but pauses and finally gives a timeout message from xauth.
Pressing ctrl-C two or three times starts X-- it seems to break what ever is hung and then kde starts and runs normally.
I created a new user and the new account does not have this problem.
What is the cause and how to fix it?
I have searched around and tried the various fixes recommended.
