http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017478 Bug ID: 1017478 Summary: TW20161223 - Graphical login broken after update (sddm) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org Assignee: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: axel.braun@gmx.de QA Contact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- (following up on mailing from factory mailing list) after an update of Tumbleweed (zypper dup) on 23.12.2016 on a Dell D630 laptop the boot got stuck with a black screen. After booting into runlevel 3, startx died with the following messages: [ 160.896] _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed [ 160.896] _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running [ 160.896] (EE) Fatal server error: [ 160.896] (EE) Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running(EE) [ 160.896] (EE) Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help. [ 160.896] (EE) Please also check the log file at "/home/user1/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log" for additional information. [ 160.897] (EE) [ 160.897] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- xinit failed. /usr/bin/Xorg is not setuid, maybe that's the reason? If so either use a display manager (strongly recommended) or adjust /etc/permissions.local and run "chkstat --system --set" afterwards (this is actually the output of Xorg.0.log) After changing the Display manager from sddm to kdm the server started as expected. So this seems to be a sddm-issue. It is reproducible - changing back to sddm breaks it again. Seems that sddm is broken? How can I prevent the change to sddm during the next update? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
