I've tried for an hour, but can't seem to get any fix working. Highly

I have to spend time switching it back again.
Comment #16 seems to misunderstand the bug. Likewise the workaround in

The workaround is not working :( -
$ sudo setfacl -m u:kodi:rw /dev/tty0 /dev/tty7
setfacl: Option -m: Invalid argument near character 3
$ sudo chmod 0660 /dev/tty*
$
$ startx

Fatal server error:

I don't know if it is real workaround but if you want to avoid running X
as root you can
1. Go to one of tty1-tty6 and login as a normal user

xinit /usr/bin/openbox -- :1 vt6
Tested on ubuntu mate 16.04.

3. bash .xinitrc

Never mind: if I am reading correctly it seems those commits I mentioned
in #10 are already included upstream and in Ubuntu as well.

Two relevant-looking Fedora patches which I haven't tried yet:

None of workarounds worked for me.
Omg, is there a single thing which 14.04 → 16.04 upgrade didn't break?

«sudo chmod 0660 /dev/tty*» worked for me until reboot. Changing
permission in udev rules for tty to 0660 from 0620 could be a temporary
