Check the /etc/xdg permissions (if not unusual, check other etc directories).
A "kid induced power shortage" (daughter :D) broken the directory's permissions (random numbers instead of "drwxr-x---"). After "sudo chmod -R 755 /etc/xdg", everything worked getting a rid of the msg "xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 2 (Permission denied)" Hope this helps -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562219 Title: Unprivileged xinit wont start in unallocated vt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinit/+bug/1562219/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
