On the currently booted F36: # startx /usr/bin/icewm logged in as root user starts IceWM here, but as normal user if I don't first chown <normaluser> /usr/bin/Xorg then it fails with xauth: file /home/<username>/.serverauth.1499 does not exist /usr/bin/sh: /usr/bin/X: Permission denied xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused xinit: server error Even with # ll /usr/bin/Xorg -rws--x--x 1 root root 277 Jul 13 07:58 /usr/bin/Xorg :( On this particular installation, sddm is installed, but only IceWM and TDE sessions are installed, and both work from TDM when running. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
