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?
You need to make /usr/bin/Xorg setuid root:
chmod +s /usr/bin/Xorg
Maybe there is a better solution but that is a quick fix.
Please do not top-post. That might be, but it doesn't fit with two points: a) it worked previously, b) it works with the nvidia driver. Dan, if you have not done it before, edit /etc/permissions.local and remove the comment mark on the "/usr/bin/Xorg" line, then run: chkstat --system --set - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
