 |
|
Hi, ALL,
I just finished installing KDE5 then created .xinitrc file and then tried to start it with "startx".
Got following error:
| Quote: |
parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)
|
I tried it as a regular user.
I checked the KDE Troubleshooting page and it says to enable "elogind" globally.
Is this the way to go?
Or I should check X troubleshooting page as well?
Thank you. |

That or rebuild xorg-server with USE="suid",the first being preferable.

Hi,
I just checked and the flag is on.
Is there anything else I can provide to troubleshoot this?
Thank you. |

Hi,
I decided t follow up with the X documentation.
I fixed couple of things with kernel, rebuild and rebooted.
Then I updated make.conf by adding:
| Code: |
VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915"
|
and then updated world.
That command asked to do:
| Code: |
emerge @preserved-rebuild
|
but it resulted in the following output:
| Code: |
The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
# required by x11-drivers/xf8-video-ati
# required by @preserved-rebuild
>=x11-libs/libdrm video_cards_noveau videp_cards_radeon video_cards_amdgpu
|
I don't have those cards - I only have Intel one.
So all other should be gone...
Thank you. |
