If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1539046 Title: libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: After some update (unfortunately I'm not sure what) if I try to play a videofile (e.g. mpv movie.mkv) I get this error: libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied I think from this message is not very clear why is that. I figured out I was not in "video" group: "id user_name" I had to do this: "usermod -aG video user_name " and then restart X (logout, login). After that it works again. So I suspect there is some problem there. Why libGL cannot be used without membership in video group or why a regular user is not in video group.
