 |
|
If I want to log into my normal user and do startx, I have to type doas before it first.
But I want to login on the TTY screen and then automatically startx after that.
I added this to my .zshrc
| Code: | if [[ -z $DISPLAY ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
startx
fi |
Unfortunately, it fails right after logging it because (permission denied).
Obviously I could type there doas before it but it's pretty annoying to write a password twice everytime I boot up the laptop.
Here's the log file
Does anybody know how to fix this? 
P.S: Login managers are bloat.

Torpus,
It was an upstream design decision several years ago to drop the default building Xorg as suid.
Xorg needs root access for some of the setup, so you need suid or a 'helper' that has root access.
Naturally, the helpers add a layer of complexity ... and they have root access.
Pick the least worst. Keep in mind the KISS principle

alamahant,
Adding elogind to OpenRC was enough. It's working now :)
