Package: xinit Version: 1.3.4-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
sometime in the last ~70 days (since I last started X or rebooted), something has changed in X that prevents startx from working as an ordinary user. startx *was* working perfectly. Now when I run startx, I can see the xfce desktop but neither keyboard nor mouse work at all, can't even switch VT with Ctrl-Alt-F1 to kill X. I have to login from another machine on the network to kill X and get back to a text console. seems to be something to do with the error message: xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted) here's the entire log from 'startx > startx.log 2>&1': X.Org X Server 1.17.3 Release Date: 2015-10-26 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian Current Operating System: Linux ganesh 3.19-5.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT Debian 3.19-5 (2015-04-19) x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.19-5.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 root=/dev/md1 ro iommu=noagp iommu=noagp Build Date: 27 October 2015 11:41:02PM xorg-server 2:1.17.3-2 (http://www.debian.org/support) Current version of pixman: 0.33.4 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
