I recall seeing ffmpeg reporting similar output with some video files, when it 
doesn't like the particular file's adherence to a codec or mux wrapper.  
Sometimes it also prints warnings about fixing your video file or it may not 
work with ffmpeg in the future.

I haven't used smplayer/mplayer for the best part of 10 years, so I don't know 
how it could be tweaked.  You could try creating an alias for mplayer with the 
'--quiet' option, or whatever equivalent mplayer has to suppress console 
output, or find if you can specify this in smplayer's config.

Alternatively, if you don't want to approach this from the video player angle, 
you can look into controlling the log output of sddm:

/usr/share/sddm/sddm.conf.d/00default.conf

Search the above file to find "# Path to the user session log file" and after 
you copy it over to your /etc/ssdm/ comment out the path to the log file, or 
redirect it to /dev/null, or if neither of these work symlink the sddm log 
file from your /home to /dev/null.

My guess was that it is /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/80-dbus that started
dbus on the problem computer but for some reason stopped to do it
after the system update, but of course it may be because of changed
dependency of the OpenRC dependencies.

Anyway, thank you once more for your help!

It would be very peculiar if D-Bus was removed from your  runlevels;  it's  more
probable that a service implicitly starting D-Bus as a dependency via `need` was
changed during your system upgrade.  Regardless, since  the  service  was  never
starting, the socket file was never being created.  X should  probably  try  and
start the D-Bus service when it initialises, either as  a  part  of  the  Gentoo
patchset, or as a bug to upstream.  The BlueZ bluetooth service does  this,  for
example [1]:

depend() {
after coldplug
need dbus localmount hostname
}

Anyway, glad to see it fixed.

Yes, after adding dbus to default runlevel, the xorg-server started.

Thank you.

Still do not understand how it worked without it before.

Will look into logs and post to this thread any other problems
xorg-server reports, if any, later.

Thank you for your reply and the tips.

/run/dbus directory does not exist on the computer where xorg-server
does not start, which probably means that it does not run. (At the
same time,  /run/dbus/system_bus_socket does exit on another my Gentoo
box that I last updated 1.5 years ago and that has no problem starting
xorg-server. It still has default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop (stable)
profile.)

Also, I cannot find a link to dbus from any of my /etc/runlevels on my
problem computer though such a link exists from
/etc/runlevels/default/dbus to /etc/init.d/dbus on my old Gentoo
installation.

On both my Gentoo installations exist /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/80-dbus
file that promises to launch a session dbus instance.

When installing my new Gentoo installation, I tried to make it as
close to the old one as it was possible, and it is strange to me that
the new one does not have a dbus startup in its runlevels. (As far as
I remember, in both cases I needed dbus to switch keyboard layout in
Awesome, and it did on both systems before the last update.)

Probably, my first try should be to add dbus to the default runlevel
on my new Gentoo installation.

Thank you for the tip and the links.

On both my systems (the old and the new one) I do have elogind
installed as it is needed for Skype.
On the old system, xorg-server still does not have an elogind use
flag, while the new one has it and it is set on.

1) Could you confirm that `/run/dbus/system_bus_socket` doesn't exist?
2) Please post the full logs of the X server, usually at `/var/log/Xorg.0.log`.

I ask for (3), because if you have the `systemd` OR `elogind` flags set on  your

Was the D-Bus package (sys-apps/dbus) touched during your system update?  If so,
did you reboot your system after the upgrade?  This  is  unlikely  to  fix  your
issue, although there have been some reports (years ago)  of  the  D-Bus  socket
file not being recreated until rebooting.

No. Should I add every user I wish to allow running Xorg without suid in
such setup to tty group? I don't like such idea. Currently, there are no
users in this group. Granting a user permissions to control every tty
looks like an overkill and an insecure setting.

I'm not trying to fix this setup at any cost. I'm trying to figure out
if it's possible to do this without suid and I'm just missing something,
or if I should stick to suid for my use-case.

Is your new user a member of the tty group?

That's not quite right. The difference is that --changed-use won't
trigger a rebuild if the change of use flag makes no difference on your
settings whereas --newuse will always rebuild for a changed flag. It has
noting to sdo with version changes, which will always case a rebuild
because you are using -u.

Just a FYI.  If you put world as a set, you can leave out system.  The
world set will pull in the system set so it will save you some typing. 

Just a thought.

I'm using --newuse (-N). According to 'man emerge', --newuse and
--changed-use are pretty similar, but if disabled USE-flag is added or
removed for package without version change, --changed-use does not
trigger rebuild of package.

Anyway, I just tried running 'emerge -avuUDN system world', and it
reported 'Nothing to merge'.

I may be way off base, but would the changed-use flag (-U / --changed-

Yes, of course. I usually do 'emerge -avuDN system world', and I have
following options in make.conf:

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps=y --binpkg-respect-use=y
--autounmask=n --complete-graph=y --keep-going"

And I did following sequence after emerging xorg-server with different
USE-flags before testing it: logout out of X11 session, login into
console session as root, restart xdm service (restart sddm), login into
KDE session via SDDM. KDE session works fine, but I can't start one more
X11 session from it.

While I didn't test it, I guess X11 session could be started fine from
user if you login into a console session (text-only session), but when I
try to start one more X11 session from already running X11 session, I
hit insufficient permissions error.

As far as I can see elogind works fine for me in usual scenario: login
via SDDM.

Re: [gentoo-user] xorg-server without suid still runs as root?

[inasprecali]

How are you starting X in the first place?  Are you using a
display manager?  Are you running startx?

In the former case, this is perfectly normal for many display
managers, including SDDM.  GDM, if I'm not mistaken, can and does
run X as a regular user if possible.  Upstream has been talking
about  adding this functionality to SDDM for a while, but so far
it still hasn't been merged.

If I do ls -l /proc/ both of them are not root, 1 as gdm
and the other as me which got created after I logged in.  Try doing
that and see what you see.

Yes, that seems right. I just added "-elogind" to make.conf and that's
it. But I'm really curious about the framebuffer stuff. As for other
stuff (mounting USB, etc), doing it by hand it's fine.

I'm not sure I can answer all your questions but I'll try to provide
some info.  Since it seems you are not using consolekit, PAM or friends,
you must do everything manually when it comes to permissions.  Whether
it is consolekit or elogind, it basically allows users to do certain
things that normally only root can do.  Example, mount USB sticks etc. 
It seems, to me at least, that it also allows graphical environments to
use elogind to manage the session when logged in as well.  I started a
thread about this a while back that should be archived somewhere. 

I'll also add this for those who use elogind already, OP, this may
interest you as well.  I did my usual Sunday upgrade last night.  When
you logout of whatever GUI you use, restart elogind before logging back
in.  I don't recall seeing elogind in the list, it was a long list, but
it seems something upgraded that needs elogind restarted to work right. 
Here is what I noticed that wasn't right.  I could not mount anything
external, USB sticks or my external backup drive.  It would give me a
error about permissions.  Logging into Konsole took minutes instead of
seconds to accept my password.  Logging into the GUI took a long time
to, much longer than usual. Any program that asks for a password, it to
took forever to start if it started at all.  Some just died off and went
to /dev/null.  As soon as I could, I logged out, went to the boot
runlevel, restarted elogind since it is in the boot runlevel and
everything went back to normal.  OP, this may give you some idea what
all elogind does or has a effect on. 

If you have consolekit, PAM, elogind and such disabled, I'm not sure
what if anything will change.  I'd think by disabling elogind, you would
be back to like you was before it *attempted* to add it.  In other
words, nothing changes.  That's my thinking.

OK, I get it. I don't use ConsoleKit2, and I have "-consolekit" in
make.conf, so it's just a matter of adding "-elogind" to make.conf. I
understand why suddenly updating world wanted to pull PAM.
What I still would like to understand is what are the consequences of
[not] enabling this stuff regarding xorg-server. What kind of control
over the framebuffer is meant by the USE description quoted above?

 You need to rebuild all x11-drivers after xorg update. Input
 problems you are describing are likely caused by modules built for
 older xorg version.

 Try:
  # emerge -av $(eix -IC x11-drivers --only-names)

I have much worse problems, whenever I start gdm, the screen shows the
same content  as the virtual console where I started gdm.  Gdm is
running, x-server is running, but the screen is not showing it.  I did
compile all the drivers, so this is very strange.

I'll try kernel 3.2 and xorg server 1.7.7 which are the versions used in 
debian squeeze. This is the last debian release with mesa < 8.0.

(I'll attach the full log)

I don't fully understand what's going on there, but I figured maybe
someone more experienced on here might have an idea as to what I did
wrong this time.


FWIW, I already tried setting the permissions of /dev/tty7 to 664,
causing the X server to work, albeit with inputs not working (the log
reveiled that it couldn't access /dev/input/event7 or something, so
probably the same issue).


My user's groups are:

$ groups christoph
tty wheel audio video usb users input davfs2 plugdev christoph kvm

(Note tty, audio, video, and input. That's all X should really need,
right?)

My VIDEO_CARDS contains "intel i915" (for an Intel HD 4000(?) chip in a
Lenovo X1 Carbon 1st gen).


Has this broken for anyone else?  Anyone who could point me in the right
direction?  Thanks in advance!


I got the same (again) but x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.99.901 runs just 
fine here when, and only when, I re-implement the +suid USE-flag 
(--enable-install-setuid) and remove --enable-suid-wrapper from the 
ebuild.


Remove your user from tty group and you’ll probably get:

   “parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)”

that is discussed at [1]. So downgrading to:

   x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.5-r1[+suid]

may be a quick but cannot be a permanent solution in my opinion.

Typing this from my fixed laptop :)

I masked >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.99.901-r1 and re-emerged, and now
it works again (for the time being).

Thanks for the efforts everybody!

When you do make sure you do a

I don't, though I just realized an unstable version of xorg-server
somehow got pulled in and merged (along with a bunch of unstable

that'll fix it.

If I am not mistaken you would need to install,

* app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions
 Available versions:  4.3.38 ~4.3.40 ~5.0.16 ~5.0.30 5.0.32 ~5.1.12
~5.1.14 {X KERNEL="linux"}
 Homepage:http://www.virtualbox.org/

I think you would have to install it in the VM itself. I don't know
about the rest of it.

Yes. See Neil's reply.
Even better, unmerge it and observe the proof that you need it.

The above is not an error, it's just portage telling you why it's not
upgrading the Xserver to the latest version - you also want
nvidia-drivers. Portage will select versions of xorg-server and the
drivers that satisfy nvidia-drivers' constraints

You obviously want nagios as it seems to be in your world file.

Mask nagios-4.2.4 if you want, but that will cause a problem as it's the
only nagios version in the tree. Do you have an overlay enabled that
provides nagios-3?

It's the generic keyboard and mouse driver. I'd make sure I had SSH

I think I've solved this one.
I unmerge "nagios" (don't need it).
and "x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev" this is just a generic driver; might
not need it either.

You probably don't nee to mask PHP, but you will need to mask
nagios-4.x. Be warned, though: as soon as some unrelated package gets a
keyword update, nagios-3.x will be removed due to old security issues.
Afterwards you'll need to update to nagios-4.x, which requires apache-2.4.x.

Few extra missing details.

Which GPU are you using? I see both Intel and ATI.
Can you provide your kernel config.
Which Video drivers did you build with xorg?



lspci and 'lspci -v' among other hardware discovery tools might help you
get the firmware and exact kernel options needed for your kernel
built correctly.

I always put the video codes into the kernel, but some have success with
setting up those codes, via a loadable modules.

other tools:: 'lshw'

My log has;
# grep -i kms /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[   303.319] (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled.
[   303.393] (II) AMDGPU(0): KMS Pageflipping: enabled

# zgrep -i kms /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_FB_HELPER=y

So try enabling those and rebuild and reinstall your kernel.

Other than that, when you update xorg you also need to 'emerge
@x11-module-rebuild' afterwards, but unless you've been emerging things out
of order that's probably not this issue this time. If you're not sure, just
do it anyway if its still broken after the kernel update.

I have had a single instance where I needed to rebuild xorg due to suit a
new kernel, but that was a long time ago.

I guess, that you don't need this driver at all, as long as you don't
have a video adapter that isn't supported by any other device driver.

Have you tried starting XFCE without SLiM? What about looking at the log

I switched to xdm and I'm getting some kind of error when xorg-server crashes:

GLib-WARNING **: GChildWatchSource: Exit status of a child process was 
requested but ECHILD was received by waitpid()

I can not capture the error as X crashes so I can not copy the content of the

and "dmesg" shows:

Quite odd; often people suggest not to create the xorg.conf file due
the auto detection that happens working well, but sometime you indeed
need to adjust it; it's hard to tell which one is correct looking at
that, I think it needs some trial and error trying to trim the file
down in order to get an idea what is what.

The only one which mb useful is Xkill, but it comes with a big warning
& one can usually use Htop to id + kill rogue windows.

If you don't already use them, they probably aren't that useful to you :)

But you can read man pages at http://linux.die.net - there are other

What about googling for "xkill linux".
E.g.  xkill sometimes is the only possiblity to kill a process which  
keeps a window open.
Just enter xkill in an XTerm, it will ask you to click into the window  
which you want to close.

x11-base/xorg-server-1.14.3-r1 here.  I still have those packages;
they're pulled in by x11-base/xorg-x11, which is the main Xorg
meta-package that pulls in xorg-server.  As for whether you need them,
I think that's your call.  I haven't tried xorg-server without xorg-x11
in a while, but lots of those utilities are useful (xkill, xrandr...).

an acpi USE flag to pull acpid if required, but (AFAICS), it doesn't
do anything in either case.

Have you changed the kernel as well?

Enable CONFIG_DRM_RADEON and CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS if you have not.

Re: [gentoo-user] Xorg

[Adam Carter]

I would turn on kernel option: CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS and make sure you also
have CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV on. Then you want INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" in
/etc/make.conf and if you will probably need to emerge xf86-input-evdev as
well.

Also:

1.  Have you specified the correct firmware in your kernel and used x11-
drivers/radeon-ucode or sys-kernel/linux-firmware?

2. Have you rebuilt all your xorg drivers as listed when you run:

  qlist -I -C x11-drivers/

I don't think you need to configure xorg at all. These things usually
work better with their auto-configuration nowadays. Have you tried
removing xorg.conf and then starting X?

Well if you have a framebuffer and get output from 'dmesg|grep
nouveaufb' it's a safe bet that KMS is enabled. Also make sure the
kernel isn't being loaded with 'nomodeset'. If its just not loading on
its own then adding 'nouveau.modeset=1' will make sure it gets enabled.

Nouveau doesn't use any binary blobs so your kernel wouldn't be the
issue. Has the proprietary driver ever been in use on your system and if
so did you fully remove it along with all the modules? Another possible
solution would be to try a newer version of xf86-video-nouveau and
libdrm. The output of 'lspci -k' might give you a hint.

Well, re-running emerge on the driver set had at least two effects. 1) The

Re: [gentoo-user] xorg crashes

[Mike Bean]

That, is an interesting question, because I HAVE been changing USE flags.
When the kernel was built it had a distinctly different use flag set.   Now
it's USE="mmx sse sse2 ssh X -gnome -kde -qt4 dbus jpeg lock session
startup-notification thunar udev -cdr -dvd alsa gtk"

I might be giving myself away as a gentoo noob here, but I haven't
technically built anything.When you say, "rebuild" are you referring to
basically the same process as emerge?   That's how I got my drivers and
xorg, but when I think of building something I always think of
configure/make/make install, and I want to be sure I'm not doing the wrong
thing because of a misunderstanding

With the 2.6.36-gentoo-r8 kernel I would suggest that you configure KMS as 
explained here:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml

it is likely that you would not need x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard or mouse 
drivers and that evdev will serve both devices.  In that case the crash that 
seems to happen after the mouse is being set up may go away.

Perhaps drivers for newer cards will work, but I don't know.

The good old nv driver still works with 1.10, happily.


The 270.30 drivers work for newer cards.  It does look like Nvidia has 
been letting the legacy drivers slide though.  I'm not sure how the 
legacy numbering system works, but the newest legacy driver seems to be 
from October.


Just to make sure though, as I forgot to to rebuild the drivers, and had 
evdev failures...you did rebuild your drivers x11-drivers?

and with 'works' you mean it displays something. Very, very slowly.

 Hi list,

 I have a problem with configuring xorg-server 1.9.4.

 It starts and works OK. But just after it has started, the keyboard begins

 If I login in a new virtual console, the keyboard works well until I enter
 into an interactive tool (man, less). After that - the same behavior.

 I installed xorg in according to these instructions [1], then added
 InputClass definitions from this thread [2].

 Please suggest what I could have done wrong.

I had changed xorg.conf many times before writing to this list. Read that 
nvidia driver doesn't use dri which is intended for open drivers, I commented 
it out.

Yesterday I tried to startx without 'Disable dri', no effect...

No. It's what I can do now.

Found similar bug reports.

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247543
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18622

It's not good news for me that these bugs both haven't been resolved so far...
I am not using neither slim nor gdm. No display manager at all. Openbox only.

I can't see anything immediately wrong with it ...

Why do you have:

Disable  "dri"
Disable  "dri2"

in there?

PS.  Have you re-emerged evdev and synaptics after you emerged xorg-server?

I deleted definitions of InputDevices and the corresponding rows in the 
ServerLayout section. Unfortunately, it didn't help. I'm getting the same weird 
behaviour of the keyboard in consoles.

A testing has shown that the keyboard gets broken in a new-open console not 
only after `man`, and `less` but even after `ls`.

Alex, you have defined both your keyboard and mouse as InputDevice under 
Section "ServerLayout", but then later on you specify them both as InputClass.

Comment out the InputDevice sections or remove them completely as shown in 
thread [2] above.

HTH.
