The workaround I used to fix the original problem as stated by the person who opened this ticket was to do the following:
chmod ug+s /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg It seems in Ubuntu 14.04 the Xorg xserver binary has permissions of: -rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 10192 Dec 9 2014 /usr/bin/X so by running the above chmod command on the 16.10 (what I have installed) installed xserver binary does indeed fix the original poster's issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562219 Title: Unprivileged xinit wont start in unallocated vt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinit/+bug/1562219/+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
