 |
|
when launching, or re-starting display-manager through openRC, as well as launching SDDM via the console manually, the screen slightly brightens for a moment, and shows a cursor, before darkening again. it then flashes bright and dark a few times, before exiting to console
Xorg seems to be working fine, as startx does bring up 3 terminals as expected of default behavior
sddm.log
standout lines:
| Code: |
[20:04:43.649] (WW) DAEMON: Auth: sddm-helper exited with 4
[20:04:43.649] (II) DAEMON: Greeter stopped. SDDM::Auth::HELPER_DISPLAYSERVER_ERROR
|
after this, it falls back from x11 to x11-user launch, resulting in this:
| Code: |
[20:04:44.214] (EE) HELPER: Failed to take control of "/dev/tty1" ("root"): Operation not permitted
[20:04:44.215] (II) DAEMON: Greeter session started successfully
[20:04:44.215] (II) HELPER: [PAM] Closing session
[20:04:44.215] (II) HELPER: [PAM] Ended.
[20:04:44.216] (WW) DAEMON: Auth: sddm-helper exited with 5
[20:04:44.216] (II) DAEMON: Greeter stopped. SDDM::Auth::HELPER_TTY_ERROR
|
Xorg.0.log
Xorg.0.log.old
(one attempted launch generated both)
things tried:
adding sddm user to tty group - no result
downgrading sddm to previous release - no result
this is an LLVM system.
if more information or additional test would help, please let me know hat else to do/share.
any help is appreciated
