about a week ago I have rebooted into the (at that point) newest snapshot and since then I can no longer use xinit to launch i3 on Tumbleweed from a tty as an ordinary user. `startx` fails with the following error message:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 1 (Permission denied)
(this is also the only error in ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log)
To make this even stranger: switching the graphics driver to Nvidia via `prime-select nvidia` makes X start again (unfortunately with all the Nvidia related downsides).
Switching back to the intel driver via `prime-select intel` breaks `startx` again.
Does anyone have an idea what might be the cause of this?
An i3 bug? TW20191109 here: WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/icewm startx works as expected. WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/i3 startx produces the permission denied you observed. TW20191003 WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/startkde startx works as expected. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
