Hi, I cannot reproduce on a fresh amd64 sid install with a gtx 780, so downgrading severity as most likely cause is hardware or setup dependent. I notice in the device permissions that there is no user ACL bit set: Device node permissions: crw-rw---- 1 root video 226, 0 Aug 9 21:32 /dev/dri/card0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 0 Aug 9 21:32 /dev/nvidia0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195, 255 Aug 9 21:32 /dev/nvidiactl video:x:44:mochan,david,luquesnel,elias,gatis,david,irina Is your user one of those listed in the "video" group? What is the output of "getfacl /dev/dri/card0"? Are you running systemd + logind? Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
