[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1525735] Re: X server fails to start under regular user in Xenial
I should have mentioned that the system shows a lot of large print output in tty 7 as the system is booting and hangs at "started update UTMP about system runlevel changes." When I look in tty1 there is screenful of stuff and then a prompt, looking as if it had successfully booted. I can log in there and all is normal except only root can start x. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1525735 Title: X server fails to start under regular user in Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1525735/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1525735] Re: X server fails to start under regular user in Xenial
Me too. Fresh install of 16.04 from the mini.iso. Used apt-get to install xorg, openbox and some applications. This always used to work. Now only root can start x. This is bare metal, not virtual. I tried installing first xserver-xorg-video-all and then xserver-xorg-legacy. Neither made any difference. This is a Samsung rv515 "laptop" (I'd say notebook). I can't understand why this is marked low priority. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1525735 Title: X server fails to start under regular user in Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1525735/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1525735] Re: X server fails to start under regular user in Xenial
I have 16.04LTS 64bit Desktop installed on my Dell Precision M4400 laptop which does use NVidia graphics card. I have an Acer 4K monitor and am running the 340 series NVidia Linux 64 driver. This morning the system installed an update, which included the series 4 kernel. The system boots and enters the X Windows login screen. After authenticating the password the system logs in and then immediately "logs itself back out" returning to the signon screen. This occurs for normal user and guest accounts. Any suggestions for a workaround? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1525735 Title: X server fails to start under regular user in Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1525735/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Oli, if you are using the proprietry drivers, then yes you will need xserver-xorg-legacy, though this should get pulled in automatically when you install/update the drivers (so long as you are using the version from the ubuntu archives) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1525735 Title: X server fails to start under regular user in Xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1525735/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1525735] Re: X server fails to start under regular user in Xenial
This is seemingly caused by the virtualbox drivers not yet having support to non-root Xorg sessions.
