Looks like it was added after the change was made, so it's possible
that you made the upgrade before it was added.

The NEWS entry should have been picked up by apt-listchanges:
https://sources.debian.net/src/xorg-server/2:1.17.3-2/debian/xserver-xorg-core.NEWS/

(And will probably also be mentioned in the release docs)

It could be that, since I don't have systemd, nor systemd-shim
installed (I just checked again).

I had to install xserver-xorg-legacy, just as Harald Dunkel suggested.

Should't apt-get have warned me that there were unmet dependencies?

Wasn't systemd just an init?

Thanks to all of you!

Re: Can't startx as normal user

[Harald Dunkel]

If you are using startx/xinit: Try installing xserver-xorg-legacy.
I had the same problem.

Good luck

The first error in the log you attached is:

which looks like some DBus policy forbids Xorg to talk to logind. Xorg
does so in order to get access to devices w/o being setuid root since
recently.

I remember users having problems with DBus policies when old version of
systemd-shim were installed (it has been fixed some time ago),
cf. https://bugs.debian.org/746242

Please make sure that either systemd-shim is purged (not only removed),
e.g. by running "apt-get purge systemd-shim", or that at least version
6-3 of systemd-shim is installed (if you don't use systemd as init).

Can't startx as normal user

[Rodrigo S. Cañibano]

Hi!

Today I made a dist-upgrade and everything worked fine until I rebooted.

No only root can run startx. If a user tries the following error appears:

"(EE) AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0"

(I will attach the full log).

Does anyone have any idea what might be the source of this problem?

Thanks and sorry for the bad English!
