I suggest with your setup to uninstall xorg-x11-server-wrapper, i.e. not to use Xwrapper at all.
Yup, that's what I did. Xwrapper works fine started from the command-line (in runlevel 3), just not from startx invoked from ~/.profile, itself executed on console login: Xorg fails to start with the same error than when it is not setuid root. This is super minor as I expect the number to call startx in their ~/.profile with xorg-x11-server-wrapper installed to be in the 0.000001% range, but just mentioning it for completeness.
Background: We introduced it for gdm, so Xserver started by gdm no longer needs to be run as user root. Until now we used a special patch against gdm to start it still as root, which our gdm developers wanted to get rid of. RH/Debian are using Xwrapper since some time for gdm. Good to know.
It sounds weird you're calling xinitrc thru your ~/.xinitrc. The sample .xinitrc in /etc/skel just sources /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common, but I added a compat link for this.
When using xinit/startx, /usr/libexec/xinit/xinitrc should be found. Try these first without any ~/.xinitrc. Although we no longer really support starting a Xsession via xinit/startx, at least for simple WMs it should be somewhat possible with a reduced functionality (sound may not work, etc.). So if this is no longer working, I need to fix this.
Again, my setup is a bit unusual with login on tty1 starting Xorg with i3, tty2 starting Plasma, tty3 starting Plasma+i3 (replacing kwin) and tty4 for Gnome. Although these days, I simply use i3. My ~/.xinitrc sets WINDOWMANAGER depending on tty and do a few other things before ultimately calling /usr/libexec/xinit/xinitrc. Full details on my dotfiles repo: https://github.com/bubbleguuum/dotfiles I suppose I could just use SDDM these days (had problem to set it up in the past with multiple monitors and high-dpi displays, but not true anymore), but I like this setup. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
