Bug#801401: cannot start X from the console command line
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.7+12 Severity: important I normally boot to console and then manually launch X if/when I need it. With the latest update to Xorg, trying to start X fails with the error (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory) Interestingly, the error is about /dev/tty0 regardless of whether I try to start it from the first VT or from a different one (see attached logs). I've also installed xserver-xorg-legacy, but the problem persists. === 8< === log when starting from the first VT [ 1577.167] X.Org X Server 1.17.2 Release Date: 2015-06-16 [ 1577.186] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 1577.192] Build Operating System: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 x86_64 Debian [ 1577.198] Current Operating System: Linux oblomov 4.2.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.2.3-1 (2015-10-06) x86_64 [ 1577.198] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.2.0-1-amd64 root=UUID=0f69635c-b68c-476c-ba1c-6bdc4c44f397 ro init=/sbin/sysvinit [ 1577.209] Build Date: 06 October 2015 07:27:47AM [ 1577.214] xorg-server 2:1.17.2-3 (http://www.debian.org/support) [ 1577.219] Current version of pixman: 0.33.2 [ 1577.228]Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.

Bug#801401: cannot start X from the console command line
Package: xserver-xorg Version: 1:7.7+12 Followup-For: Bug #801401 Additional information: I've added my user to the `tty` group, and while Xorg still fails to start, the error is now different: (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 5 (Permission denied) where VC5 is the next free one (so the number changes based on how many gettys I have spawned). This is very odd though, shouldn't usermode Xorg try to use the same VC where it's being launched from? -- Package-specific info: X server symlink status: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Aug 9 2014 /etc/X11/X -> /usr/bin/Xorg -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 274 Oct 6 09:35 /usr/bin/Xorg Diversions concerning libGL are in place diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1.2.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1.2.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/libGL.so.1 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv2.so.2.0.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv2.so.2.0.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/libGLESv2.so.2 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/libGLESv2.so.2 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLESv1_CM.so.1.1.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLESv1_CM.so.1.1.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv1_CM.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv1_CM.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1.2 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so.1.1.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/libGLESv1_CM.so.1.1.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv1_CM.so.1 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv1_CM.so.1 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLESv1_CM.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLESv1_CM.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv1_CM.so.1.1.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv1_CM.so.1.1.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/libGL.so.1.2.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/libGLESv2.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/libGLESv2.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/libGL.so.1.2 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv1_CM.so.1.1.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv1_CM.so.1.1.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv2.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv2.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/libGL.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv2.so.2 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv2.so.2 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/libGLESv1_CM.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1.2.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2.0.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2.0.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so.1 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/libGLESv1_CM.so.1 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2.0.0 to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLESv2.so.2.0.0 by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv1_CM.so to /usr/lib/mesa-diverted/i386-linux-gnu/libGLESv1_CM.so by glx-diversions diversion of /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGLESv1_CM.so.1 to
