I think I broke something once again... |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Rebooting after a recent update caused my X Server to completely die. I |
| 4 |
faintly remember some x11-related packages being blocked on that |
| 5 |
particular update, but because I was short on time I decided just to |
| 6 |
ignore those at the time (note to self: bad idea, apparently). |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Now when I run startx, it complains about a bunch of permissions being |
| 9 |
borked: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
$ cat Xorg.0.log |
| 12 |
---- 8< ---- |

for help. |

(I'll attach the full log) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I don't fully understand what's going on there, but I figured maybe |
| 32 |
someone more experienced on here might have an idea as to what I did |
| 33 |
wrong this time. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
FWIW, I already tried setting the permissions of /dev/tty7 to 664, |
| 37 |
causing the X server to work, albeit with inputs not working (the log |
| 38 |
reveiled that it couldn't access /dev/input/event7 or something, so |
| 39 |
probably the same issue). |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
My user's groups are: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
$ groups christoph |
| 45 |
tty wheel audio video usb users input davfs2 plugdev christoph kvm |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
(Note tty, audio, video, and input. That's all X should really need, |
| 48 |
right?) |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
My VIDEO_CARDS contains "intel i915" (for an Intel HD 4000(?) chip in a |
| 51 |
Lenovo X1 Carbon 1st gen). |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Has this broken for anyone else? Anyone who could point me in the right |
| 55 |
direction? Thanks in advance! |
