[SOLVED]startx/xinit works only as root, mktemp permission error

I successfully installed arch following the beginners guide on the wiki.
I installed arch on VirtualBox and everything goes fine, startx and xinit works for normal user
When I repeat the process on my old desktop pc (mounting Nvidia 9800 Gtx) I discover that startx and xinit runs only as root

After install and reboot to the new system I added normal user and inserted him in sudoers conf file, then I installed Xorg with this:
(I choosed mesa-libgl)

sudo pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm

I don't understand if video driver is installed with the command above, so I installed with this:

sudo pacman -S xf86-video-nouveau

On virtualbox I also installed 

xf86-video-intel

I have not changed any configuration file

My home:

Re: [SOLVED]startx/xinit works only as root, mktemp permission error

Welcome to the forums.  Thanks for taking the time to provide good information and logs.  In this case I think the problem is very simple:

[  1067.023] (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

That message is quite clear.  X ran successfully.  It did everything it was told to do, then exitted.

You need to create an ~/.xinitrc (or install xterm and twm used by the system default xinitrc).  Presumably you created a /root/.xinitrc which is a bad idea, but that's why you can run startx as root.

EDIT: definitely see the below comment.  I assumed the log would have been from the session that you thought was failing.  Given that it ran for 23 seconds, I suspect this might be the successful attempt ran as root.  Just the same, you do not have a ~/.xinitrc - so unless you have twm and xterm installed, X will exit immediately.

Re: [SOLVED]startx/xinit works only as root, mktemp permission error

You might also want to look into your ~/.local/share/xorg/ dir, as that is where xorg stores logs if started as an user

I don't have this path in my home dir

Twm Xclock and xterm was installed

My root folder doesn't contain .xinitrc

If I ran 

sudo startx

everything works, I see xterm xclock etc..

According to wiki

If .xinitrc is present in a user's home directory, startx and xinit execute it. Otherwise startx will run the default /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

If iran startx as normal user:

mktemp: failed to create file via template `/tmp/serverauth.XXXXXXXXXX': Permission denied

Re: [SOLVED]startx/xinit works only as root, mktemp permission error

I solved, the problem was the permission of /tmp folder, I don't understand why they are set incorrectly

sudo chmod 777 /tmp

Re: [SOLVED]startx/xinit works only as root, mktemp permission error

I'm glad it working, but 777 is not quite right for tmp.  And setting the permissions manually is - at best - a bandaid on the problem.  You should figure out the real cause, not just cover up the symptom.

The output of `mount` could be useful in figuring out what is wrong with /tmp

Re: [SOLVED]startx/xinit works only as root, mktemp permission error

I have /tmp on separate partition, maybe this is the cause
I changed again permission with

chmod 1777 /tmp

Re: [SOLVED]startx/xinit works only as root, mktemp permission error

Ah, yes, that would do it.  Do you have a good reason for mounting a partition on /tmp?  Generally it would not need to be a "separate" partition as it is normally not on-disk storage at all: it is tmpfs.

Re: [SOLVED]startx/xinit works only as root, mktemp permission error

No reason, when I installed  arch disk was already parted, I re-create fs and set the mount point, / , /var , swap, /home and /tmp, that's all.

Re: [SOLVED]startx/xinit works only as root, mktemp permission error

Hello,

This thread is marked as solved, but notice that the underlying problem has not been identified.  As Trilby identied, using chmod is a bandaid.  I have seen the same problem posted in other forums, so I am posting this flag where this problem may originate for others who may have this problem.

I was getting the same error messages and experiencing the same problem as ganga.  The problem went hand-in-hand with a myriad of other permission errors when I was writing to files.  I basically could only use my system as root. After a couple of attempts at reinstalling, I no longer have either of these problems.

Installation mount point: My install was to a USB as a learning exercise, but that brought with it its own challenges.  The relevant wiki important of course (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ble_medium) as well as the walk-through implementation that it links to (https://magyar.urown.cloud/arch-usb.html).

   I was receiving the same error message as somebody who has installed with a their /tmp on a separate partition.

1. Ram Disk Configuation: As per the wiki and C-Magyar, when installing to a removable medium, it is recommended that you adjust the Hooks in the mkinitcpio.conf before regenerating the Ram Disk Image.  I'm not giving instructions (nobody should ever follow my instructions), here, but merely flagging a procedure to look into.  The mkinitcpio has the following note that may be relevant:

"NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck)"

I've never heard of installing a /tmp root, but is it possibly causing the equivalent logical problem as having a /usr without the usr HOOK added for the Ram Disk?

2. I was installing everything as root before making a user, giving it sudoer rights, and logging in under that and performing the software installations with sudo.

My contribution is basically RTFM, but I think it is helpful to point out the specific parts of the existing wikis/guides to pay close attention to.  I am probably pretty near the minimal threshold linux knowledge to actually run Arch.

Regards,
AAC

Re: [SOLVED]startx/xinit works only as root, mktemp permission error

/tmp should have permissions of 1777. Systemd will set this automatically if you let it use the default tmpfs setup. If you opt to use a partition instead, then you need to set the permissions on that partition's root yourself. That's all.
