Xinit not working on login, but working if launched interactively

DeletedUser211104 · 2017-01-04 00:02:18

I can't seem to get xinit to run as I want to when I login. It seems when I autostart it from my .zprofile, it is unable to connect to the X server and then quits, wheras if I were to run this from the virtual terminal interactively, it works.

An interesting thing to note is that when xinit fails on login, all my console output thereafter becomes wonky.

Here is the log that Xorg procudes when xinit is run at login.

I am not sure what the issue is, but hopefully someone understands these logs files and can explain what the issue is.

I feel that the issue seems to be regarding

 xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed: Operation not permitted

But I am unable to find much on this error.

Thanks!!!

EDIT: I should also mention that startx does not work via either methods.

It looks like you are trying to run it on a different tty from the one you are logging in on. Please post the code in your .zprofile.

Change "xinit bspwm" to "xinit bspwm -- vt1 -nolisten tcp"

The vt1 is what's required to fix this problem, the rest is just good practice.

Alternatively, use startx instead which handles this for you.

Hmmm, I've added that but still hasn't fixed the problem. Still the same issue as far as I can tell.

EDIT: Alright, so I reinstalled all things XORG related and I managed to get startx to work somehow. Yet xinit still doesn't work. I think I'm going to stick with startx for now, but I would like to know what the issue is with xinit as there could be a more sever issue thats hiding in my system.

That's odd. Startx is really just a shell script wrapper for xinit. If you wanted to track this down, you could modify startx - some well placed echo commands would let you see exactly how it is calling xinit.

DeletedUser211104 · 2017-01-04 02:45:08

Okay so I was being dumb, because I looked at the old .zprofile I had and it turned out that having this snippet of code just doesn't work.
Any particular reason why it doesn't work though?

startx ~/.xinitrc bspwm 2>> ~/xinit.err

I did some more tests and verified that it the redirection of STDERR that broke xorg. But I'm not sure why? This works just fine on my void linux setup, so any reason why arch doesn't like it?
