Re: Not able to start X as normal user
Dan, setuid was not set. I have set that and X is working now. bash-3.2$ ls -l /usr/bin/Xorg -rwsrwxrwx 1 root root 1563180 Feb 19 15:31 /usr/bin/Xorg bash-3.2$ Thanks for the solution :-) -- - With regards, Unnikrishnan.A A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 4:43 AM, Dan Nicholson dbn.li...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 2:51 PM, unni krishnan unnikrishna...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I am getting following error when starting X as normal user : Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.27.10 i686 Current Operating System: Linux host.webofunni.com 2.6.27.10 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 24 21:37:14 CET 2008 i686 (WW) xf86ReadBIOS: Failed to open /dev/mem (Operation not permitted) (WW) xf86OpenConsole: chown /dev/tty7 failed: Operation not permitted (WW) xf86OpenConsole: chown /dev/tty0 failed: Operation not permitted xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted) I am able to start X as root and using xfce as desktop interface.
