[SOLVED] Errors when startx to get an Xorg session
When installing and getting Xorg to work I experience two problems (without and with Firefox) which I suspect are both related to user privileges, as their symptoms are similar:
After I got a command line system working I created a normal user account which is allowed to use sudo
I then installed Xorg and related packages and can startx an X session with correct resolution and xterms and xclock. However, it prints one error (twice) which says: xauth: file /home/kent/.Xauthority does not exist (disregard this one, it's only shown the first time and I think it's normal)
If I continue from there and install Firefox (90 packages in total) I just get a blank black screen when doing startx which stays for four minutes. Then it exits and I get the error: xinit: server error
I suspect that it is some kind of user privileges problem, but I am not sure. Some empty files are created.
I go into details below on all the above. Let me know if additional information is needed to be able to help me out.
Details follow
How I created the normal user account and allowed it to use sudo
I created a user account (kent) which I let be part of the wheel group
root$ useradd -m -G wheel kent
root$ passwd kent # set the password of the new user, required to be able to loginAfter a reboot I logged in as kent and checked that I was able to create files as it and root, as well as my home directory permissions
$ pwd
/home/kent
$ touch somefile
$ su
Password:
root$ touch otherfile
root$ exit
exit
$ ls -l # to see the two files and their permissions
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Apr 22 10:45 otherfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 0 Apr 22 10:45 somefile
$ cd ..
$ ls -l # to see the home directory permissions
total 4
drwx------ 2 kent kent 4096 Apr 22 10:45 kentI then installed sudo, made sure the user account is part of the wheel group and used visudo to give "%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL" and made sure I can use sudo by
$ sudo bash -c "echo content>fromsudo"
$ ls -l

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]The only output I got which might look a bit suspicious is
>>> xorg-server has now the ability to run without root rights with
the help of systemd-logind. xserver will fail to run if not launched
from the same virtual terminal as was used to log in.
Without root rights, log files will be in ~/.local/share/xorg/ directory.
Old behavior can be restored through Xorg.wrap config file.
See Xorg.wrap man page (man xorg.wrap).But I guess it just means that Xorg runs as my normal user account? Which I guess the fact that the log file exists in $HOME/.local/... also indicates.
The error output I get when running startx after installing Xorg and related packages
When I run startx twm does start, with the correct resolution and xterm and xclock running, but after exiting I see that I got this error (twice):
xauth: file /home/kent/.Xauthority does not exist

sudo pacman -S firefoxI use the defaults for libx264.se=148-64 and ttf-font which results in 90 packages (total 417 MB) being installed.
startx gives a blank screen for 4 minutes and then I get the output

Re: [SOLVED] Errors when startx to get an Xorg session
Hostname issues are one possible explanation. Can you post the output of the following:

Re: [SOLVED] Errors when startx to get an Xorg session
Disregard the first error about "xauth: file /home/kent/.Xauthority does not exist". I think it is expected behavior the first time I run startx, as that file isn't created by then. I was a bit confused, but noticed I don't get it any more.
The other error is still there though. If I install firefox (which in turn installs a lot of stuff like gtk2 and alsa-lib) I get a black screen (but it seems to have the correct resolution) and it halts there for 4 minutes. Then I get xinit: server error as my only clue and an empty (but existing) .local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log log file.

Re: [SOLVED] Errors when startx to get an Xorg session
You semi-forgot to mention that this is a virtual machine ;-)
The effective result are dri/glx issues (you're on software rendering) and since you startx, your ~/.xinitrc would be quite interesting ;-)
Also startx should print more to the console than just a final "xinit: server error"?
Can you startx as root?

Re: [SOLVED] Errors when startx to get an Xorg session
Thanks, "klavarch" could also be in /etc/hosts but the absence of it should not cause any problems like this.

I did check before installing the firefox package that I had hardware acceleration working, which it was. That kind of made me dismiss VirtualBox as a source of problems, so I guess I jumped over it mentally and neglected to mention it, sorry. I don't have any ~/.xinitrc yet, so I am defaulting to use /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.

Re: [SOLVED] Errors when startx to get an Xorg session
Thanks for being so helpful! As it turns out the source of the second problem was embarrassingly easy.
Summary:
The "xauth: file /home/kent/.Xauthority." output seems to be perfectly normal the first time you start your X session. The file does not exist yet, and the message did not turn up the second time for me.
The "xinit: server error" after installing firefox was because my root file system was full. firefox brings in a lot of new packages and I was too conservative with my root file system size.
