[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1562219] Re: xinit will not work as non-root.
I've tried for an hour, but can't seem to get any fix working. Highly frustrating as I just switched my laptop from Debian to Ubuntu, and now I have to spend time switching it back again. Comment #16 seems to misunderstand the bug. Likewise the workaround in comment #12 might possibly work for some people, but there appear to be several of us who rely on running X as a non-root user. This is not something that I would have expected to be broken. Is there any update on this? It's been a while since anyone commented on it, and the bug doesn't appear to be assigned to anyone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562219 Title: xinit will not work as non-root.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1562219] Re: xinit will not work as non-root.
I am affected by the same bug, although the X error message is slightly
different ("parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0" instead of
"xf86OpenConsole: " ...)
In /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config I have tried to replaced
allowed_users=console
with
allowed_users=anybody
and in this file I also tried the option
need_root_rights = yes
but both attempts had no visible consequences.
I have looked at the workaround for koda posted above, but I am unable to
extract the bits that may make it help in my case. Perhaps someone can give
suggestions to me based on the posted workaround. The program I want to run in
its own Xserver is a game, so all the systemd stuff in the workaround is not
that relevant to me. Although my knowledge of X is very limited, I'd love to
contribute with some testing as far as I can go. Thanks for your time and
efforts /Mikkel.
