I think I broke something once again...
Rebooting after a recent update caused my X Server to completely die. I
faintly remember some x11-related packages being blocked on that
particular update, but because I was short on time I decided just to
ignore those at the time (note to self: bad idea, apparently).
Now when I run startx, it complains about a bunch of permissions being
borked:
$ cat Xorg.0.log
---- 8< ----
[ 11.763] (--) using VT number 7
[ 11.763] (EE)
Fatal server error:

"/home/christoph/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

[ 11.775] (WW) xf86CloseConsole: VT_GETMODE failed: Bad file descriptor
[ 11.775] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
(I'll attach the full log)
I don't fully understand what's going on there, but I figured maybe
someone more experienced on here might have an idea as to what I did
wrong this time.
FWIW, I already tried setting the permissions of /dev/tty7 to 664,
causing the X server to work, albeit with inputs not working (the log
reveiled that it couldn't access /dev/input/event7 or something, so
probably the same issue).
My user's groups are:
$ groups christoph
tty wheel audio video usb users input davfs2 plugdev christoph kvm
(Note tty, audio, video, and input. That's all X should really need,
right?)
My VIDEO_CARDS contains "intel i915" (for an Intel HD 4000(?) chip in a
Lenovo X1 Carbon 1st gen).
Has this broken for anyone else? Anyone who could point me in the right
direction? Thanks in advance!
