 Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2020 7:56 am Post subject: non-root Xorg issues after switch to elogind |
 |
|
Hello,
I recently switch to elogind using the wiki without any problems.
A few days ago I removed consolekit and did a --depclean where a lot of packages were removed.
After a reboot sddm didn't come up again.
Following a lot of threads and wikis I may have found the problem at least partly.
I had to change permissions on tty0, tty1 and tty7 and now I can start using startx. When I try
to start sddm with xdm nothing happens.
These are some results after logging in using startx as user (which is not my normal way to get to the DE)
| Code: |
groups
wheel audio video users vboxusers user plugdev
|
| Code: |
loginctl list
No sessions.
|
| Code: |
loginctl user-status
Could not get properties: Is a directory
|
| Code: |
ps aux |grep dbus

grep -r elogind /etc/pam.d/
/etc/pam.d/sddm-greeter:session optional pam_elogind.so
/etc/pam.d/elogind-user:session optional pam_elogind.so
|
Hope that information can help.
Thanks in advance. |

/etc/pam.d/system-auth is missing in that output. Check that sys-auth/pambase has been installed with the elogind USE flag set. |

Hi,
I've added the line, nothing changed so far.
| Code: |
grep -r elogind /etc/pam.d/
/etc/pam.d/system-auth:session optional pam_elogind.so
/etc/pam.d/sddm-greeter:session optional pam_elogind.so
/etc/pam.d/elogind-user:session optional pam_elogind.so

That looks OK. I guess we'll have to investigate some more why loginctl shows no sessions.
1. Post the output of busctl --system, so that we can see if elogind-daemon has connected to the system-wide message bus
2. Leave a dbus-monitor process running in your current terminal, so that we can watch D-Bus activity:
| Code: | | sudo dbus-monitor --system interface=org.freedesktop.login1.Manager >dbus-monitor.log |
3. Change to a different VT using Alt + F<number>, log in, and post the output of loginctl list-sessions, so that we can see if there are still no sessions
4. Exit from that virtual terminal and stop dbus-monitor with Ctrl + C in your original one
5. Post the generated dbus-monitor.log file |

Hi,
should this be done without any xdm or startx started before and should I then do it "my" usual way to
start xdm and not with startx like I do it at the moment?
thx |

/var/log/sddm.log may have some useful information.

For the test of elogind and session creation, don't start SDDM and don't use startx. Use kernel virtual terminals (text user interface). |
