[opensuse-factory] Problems with X on installed GNOME livecd

20 Feb 2012

      Hi all,

I tried to install the GNOME livecd (build-0151.i686) in VirtualBox but
then I am not able to have a running X.

If I boot in rl 5, X/gdm crashes and tries to restart repeatedly until I
force the system to go to rl3.
Once in rl 3, if I launch startx as root I obtain a running X instance
but if I launch startx as normal user, I obtain a fatal server error
from X: Cannot move old log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to
"/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old".
/var/log/Xorg.0.log has ownership root:root with permissions 644 while
/var/log has the same ownership and permissions 755.

If I use the same iso image as livecd, X starts correctly under user linux.

Is it a known problem? Should I file a bug report against X?

Best,
Andrea
