Package: x11-common Version: 1:7.5+8 Severity: minor It appears to be no longer possible to start X as non-root user, regardless of the x11-common configuration. I don't use this too often, so I can't say exactly when it broke. I do remember that this worked fine before Squeeze was released though.
aschuring@neminis:~$ startx [...] Fatal server error: Cannot move old log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old" aschuring@neminis:~$ startx -- -logfile /tmp/Xorg.log [...] Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory) aschuring@neminis:~$ ls -l /dev/tty0 crw------- 1 root root 4, 0 Mar 17 12:30 /dev/tty0 If I remember correctly, I first noticed this after I removed xserver-xorg, however reinstalling xserver-xorg does not fix the issue. I may have simply overplayed my hand by pruning too much of the Xorg stack, if so, I'd like some pointers on how to restore previous behaviour. Simply setuid'ing the X binary does not have the desired effect :) Finally: I notice that the bugscript for x11-common seems very tight-lipped, so here are at least all X components currently installed: ii libx11-6 2:1.4.1-5 X11 client-side library ii libx11-data 2:1.4.1-5 X11 client-side library ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.4.1-5 Xlib/XCB interface library ii x11-apps 7.6+4 X applications ii x11-common 1:7.6+4 X Window System (X.Org) infrastructure ii x11-session-utils 7.6+1 X session utilities ii x11-utils 7.6+1 X11 utilities ii x11-xfs-utils 7.6+1 X font server utilities ii x11-xkb-utils 7.6+2 X11 XKB utilities ii x11-xserver-utils 7.6+1 X server utilities ii xserver-common 2:1.9.99.903-1 common files used by various X servers rc xserver-xorg 1:7.6+4 the X.Org X server ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.9.99.903-1 Xorg X server - core server ii xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.6.0-3 X.Org X server -- evdev input driver ii xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.14.0-1+exp2 X.Org X server -- AMD/ATI Radeon display driver -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (300, 'squeeze'), (300, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-rc8+ (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages x11-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.38 Debian configuration management sy ii lsb-base 3.2-27 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip x11-common recommends no packages. x11-common suggests no packages. -- debconf information: * x11-common/xwrapper/allowed_users: Anybody x11-common/xwrapper/actual_allowed_users: anybody x11-common/x11r6_bin_not_empty_move: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
