startx not working as a regular user.

Hello

At start up slim is the one supposed to handle things and it raises failed to connect to X sever or something. Then I systemctl stop it and try startx.
I have troubles with startx which ends up with a black screen when I launch it with my user. With root it works fine (.xStuff are all the same for both).
It started today after I rebooted my computer for the first time after last update 4 days ago + today (previous update was about a month and a half ago).
So I suppose it is some permission related issue since root can do it. My startx attempts don't seem to produce any log file (nothing new appears in
/var/log or .local/share/xorg). I got the root output through 2&>, but doing so completely froze the terminal when normal user.


Here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log generated at boot.

Re: startx not working as a regular user.

Looks like you have a driver problem for your NVIDIA card. My advice would be to install and try another driver, perhaps:

* Nouveau (NVIDIA open source)
* xf86-video-modesetting (generic)
* xf86-video-fbdev

Permissions issue may be related to xorg now being rootless. Not sure about that.

Re: startx not working as a regular user.

Thinking about it, I am now really starting to wonder if the newer NVIDIA drivers are having issues due to xorg being rootless...

Re: startx not working as a regular user.

Some things are somewhat not consistent here.

In the log you posted there's no mention of NVIDIA, it doesn't even try to load it, or the log is old. But it is loading the intel driver.
In this log it says it's using /etc/X11/xorg.conf but in your 'ls' output it isn't there... Then you have nvidia-settings in your .xinitrc...

So, what is this setup actually, is it a hybrid ?

What exact command did you use to start ? Please try using 'startx' only (Edit: as user), and try to find the corresponding log to this, it should be on one of the locations you mentioned (Edit: e.g. check the date).

Regards

Edit: grammar/wording, clarify

Re: startx not working as a regular user.

Thank you all for your answers.

CarID > I think I chose nividia driver because I had some issues with the open
source one at the time I installed everything. Maybe was it only that nvidia
worked fine on first shot and nouveau didn't. If I remember correctly, bumblebee
was unstable with the nouveau driver while nvidia behaved properly. I will try
nouveau again but I woudld like to understand why my system stopped working
after last update first.

jasonwryan > I saw that, but honestly I don't really understand what it says and
what are the consequencies. Since it's from July and my system was working fine
in November I thought it was unrelated. What is this supposed to mean ? I
suppose the "redirecting stderr also breaks rootless login" explains that I
failed when I attempted to redirect startx output with 2&> as a user ?

rebootl > My laptop has NVIDIA Optimus, so when I got my it a year ago I tried to
follow the wiki about Bumblebee. I don't really remember how well I did and the
nvidia-settings in .xinitrc might well be superstition.  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
exists and is empty.

When I startx as a user, I can't find any proper log
file. ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log is created (correct date) but empty. I
get a black screen and the only way I found to get away is to killall Xorg.bin
from another tty. When I am back on the user tty after I killed Xorg.bin, I can
read something like that (not 100% accurate since I can only retype it so far...)

Re: startx not working as a regular user.

Ok, sorry, I think the others were right about that. It seems to indicate that Xorg tries to start rootless (the logfile is created in the home), but this will not work with nvidia. For nvidia X needs to start as root (at least that was the case when rootless X came out in summer). This worked here automatically as well, up to now. I've updated now but I'll have to check it tomorrow...
Maybe this changed with an update. I don't have optimus and am using the legacy nvidia-340xx now, so I can't really tell for this.

Maybe effectively try to set up Xorg.wrap as described in the link of jasonwryan, to force starting X not rootless.

Edit: It seems to work fine here without Xwrapper.config, but as mentioned I'm using the legacy nvidia driver now.
