[solved] stop xinit from running when sshing into arch installation

Satorin · 2022-05-07 19:04:40

When I'm at my machine I have an autostart and autologin, but when I ssh I don't want xinit to run since I'm only running from terminal.

/usr/lib/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console.

is what I get when I ssh into my machine, how do I stop this?
This is probably coming from something I previously did but ended up forgetting lol.

You apparently didn't follow the wiki to autostart X as it would work the way you want if you did. Where do you run xinit/startx? In your shell profile, shellrc, etc? Post whatever it is you are using.

There is nothing in my home dir that is launching startx, but it seems to be coming from xserverrc which is

#!/bin/sh   
exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@"

No xserverrc is not running xinit/startx, it's the other way around. Something you configured is running xinit or startx. This is almost certainly something in your home directory, unless you put it in /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d.

What shell are you using? Post your shell profile and shellrc file.

Which tutorial did you follow when you installed / configured this system?

Trying to rack my brain here but I just can't remember what I used to get this up and running,
I have agetty which logs me in and my server starts with my .xinitrc configs

Then check (aka post the output of) the following:

grep '\(xinit\|startx\)' ~/*
find ~/.config -type f -exec grep '\(xinit\|startx\)' '{}' \+
find /etc -type f -exec grep '\(xinit\|startx\)' '{}' \+ 2>/dev/null
