[Xorg] doesn't work since update (closed)

On a old laptop, without update since a big year, I can't launch X

.xinitrc:

#!/bin/bash
exec dbus-launch openbox-session

sudo chown -R USER:users /home/USER

but, X won't launch anymore

find /home/USER ! -user USER

show nothing

$ startx
(EE)
fatal server error:
(EE) cannot open log file "/home/USER/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.1.log"
(EE)
(EE)
Please consult the X.Org Foundation support
   at http://wiki.x.org
for help
(EE)

I have found that .local/share/xorg/ doesn't exist.
I tried to uninstall install xorg-server xorg-server-utils and xorg-server-xinit, also xf86
but Ican't launch X .

any idea ??

sudo chown -R USER:users /home/USER

Is your user in the "users" group?

Also:

without update since a big year

If you haven't updated your system for a year, I'm not surprised it doesn't work.
