Hi all

I now seen to have everything in place for elogind and rootless X,
however, just calling startx still does not seem to work.
I get the following error on startx on the console:


[   382.428] (EE) parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0
(Permission
denied)


If I just call

X vt7

I get:


[   972.965] (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7
(Permission denied)


However, I get a success using:

startx -- vt1

, as /dev/tty1 seems to be my seat:


timtas@lfsda0:~$ loginctl
SESSION  UID USER   SEAT  TTY
        4 1000 timtas       pts/0
        7 1000 timtas seat0 tty1


So, is this all correct now, and I'm fine to go on?


Well, I've never have had to specify the vt with startx, so something
is weird. Just to check: what is your version of elogind, and if using
246.9.1, have you applied the sed?
sed -i '/running/,+1s:^://:' src/login/pam_elogind.c

Also, the seat is tty1, but even without elogind, /dev/tty1 would be
owned by you if logging in on it.

Just a quick question: what groups does your user have, that runs start?

mine has  11(audio),12(video),16(adm),24(input),27(sudo),97(wheel)

Has there something changed in regards of groups needed to run X?


Bye
Tim
