I got: [ 1573.037] (EE) systemd-logind: TakeControl failed: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.9" (uid=1000 pid=7162 comm="/usr/libexec/Xorg.bin :0 -auth /home/hazel/.server") interface="org.freedesktop.login1.Session" member="TakeControl" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.login1" (uid=0 pid=143 comm="/lib/systemd/systemd-logind ")
followed by: [ 1573.126] (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory). It worked with sudo startx but that's not something I'd want to do on a regular basis. I think, after reading the SVN, that to make it work properly I'd have to rebuild systemd and that's not a road I want to go down either (quite apart from anything else, my systemd version (208) is too old for your compatibility patches). So I'm back with xorg 1.15. It's a bit inconvenient having to authenticate before closing down but I can put up with that now that I know why it behaves the way it does. And I gather that the new LFS version with xorg 1.16 will become stable soon anyway. Thanks to all of you for your help. -- Hazel Russman <[email protected]> -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
