Package: xinit Version: 1.3.4-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
After the apt-get upgrade which changed the xinit from 1.3.4-1 to 1.3.4-3 the before functioning system stops to work with the following error in exec startx: Fatal server error: (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 1 (Permission denied) The invocation of the startx is: 1. The system autologs the root user using [email protected] ( via ExecStart=-/sbin/agetty -a root %I $TERM ) 2. the root user starts the <user> via su - <user> 3. the user's .bash_profile contains the exec startx ... (but is the same if you start it manually) The ls -al /dev/tty give: crw------- 1 root tty 4, 1 Jan 1 01:11 /dev/tty1 if you chown <user> or chmod 666 /dev/tty1, the startx displays the graphical screen, but the mouse is not moving the cursor. If you autostart the <user> directly from [email protected], all is working as expected, ls -al /dev/tty1 crw------- 1 <user> tty 4, 1 Jan 1 01:11 /dev/tty1 I filled this bug report because is the upgrade that broke the functioning system (twice, on two systems build on same image), nothing other changed in the meantime except upgrade. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 4.1.7-v7+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xinit depends on: ii coreutils 8.23-4 ii libc6 2.19-22 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii x11-common 1:7.7+12 ii xauth 1:1.0.9-1 Versions of packages xinit recommends: ii xfce4-session [x-session-manager] 4.12.1-3 ii xfce4-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 0.6.3-2 ii xfwm4 [x-window-manager] 4.12.3-1 ii xserver-xephyr [xserver] 2:1.17.2-3 ii xserver-xorg [xserver] 1:7.7+12 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 320-1 xinit suggests no packages. -- debconf information: perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LC_TIME = "en_US.UTF-8", LC_MONETARY = "hr_HR.UTF-8", LC_ADDRESS = "hr_HR.UTF-8", LC_TELEPHONE = "hr_HR.UTF-8", LC_NAME = "hr_HR.UTF-8", LC_MEASUREMENT = "hr_HR.UTF-8", LC_IDENTIFICATION = "hr_HR.UTF-8", LC_NUMERIC = "hr_HR.UTF-8", LC_PAPER = "hr_HR.UTF-8", LANG = "en_GB" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to a fallback locale ("en_GB"). locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
