Hi Guix,
Today I noticed that I'm having trouble starting a GNOME session. If I'm
using GDM, GDM also fails to start. If slim, then slim starts, but bringing
up the GNOME session fails.
In /var/log/gdm/greeter.log I see "(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open
virtual console 7 (Permission denied)"
In /var/log/messages I see "gdm: gdm_session_set_environment_variable:
assertion 'value != NULL' failed"
and "debus-daemon[598]: [system] Activated service
'org.freedesktop.PloicyKit1' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown
return code 1"
My first system generation where this is a problem is my first one to have
linux-libre-5.0. I do not know how to narrow down where the problem was
introduced further.
Best,
Jack
