my name is Eva García Llorente, I have installed a new version of

execute Singular (Emacs and X-server) a fatal error occurs, and in
/var/log/Xwinlog is reported the following error:
Fatal server error:
Can't read lock file /tmp/.X0-lock
I have tried these possible solutions (FAQ):
1. startxwin -- -nolock
2. rm -rf /tmp; mkdir /tmp ; chmod 1777 /tmp
and they have not worked.
Can you attach the log file from running the X server with the
additional -nolock option?
What about the facts which FAQ 3.4 mentions as relevant? Are you using
a FAT filesystem? Does your account have local Administrator privileges?
