there are a lot of errors - hard to say - here's a couple:

E [14/Apr/2014:23:59:26 -0400] [Client 15] pam_authenticate() returned 7 
(Authentication failure)


X [15/Apr/2014:00:01:10 -0400] No valid Listen or Port lines were found 
in the configuration file.

W [15/Apr/2014:00:01:11 -0400] CreateProfile failed: 
org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id 
'hp-LaserJet-1300n-Gray..' already exists
