[SOLVED] "startx" wont work as non-root user
Hi,
when logging into root. startx works just fine (i am using Plasma5)
but when i try to run startx as a normal user, it tries (i guess since mz screen is black for a while) but ultimatly fails and goes back to console mode.
Any tipps?

Post your X log. Also, post permissions on your user's home.

Re: [SOLVED] "startx" wont work as non-root user
I went through everything again
Problem was that my normal User didn't have the ".xinitrc" file so ich I copied it
By using "cp .xinitrc ../home/{MyUserName}"
Now everything works just fine
