Artix Linux Forum

I installed Artix and stared i3 in the `startx` when I log in

Now when I run tmux I get the following error message:

    81 \[    20.241\] (WW) xf86OpenConsole: VT\_ACTIVATE failed: Operation not permitted

I already tried to add the line `allowed_users=anybody` to the file `~/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config` but tmux does not start. How do I solve this issue


Update/Solution

Please check Chris's answer for the solution

here (https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,598.msg4744.html#msg4744)

What does that Xorg log file say?

I have added it to a paste bin here

https://ptpb.pw/TT86

I assume there is something of with the permission but I am not sure where this can be changed.

Is your user part of the "video" group?

Jep I have added the user to the video group. But Tmux show the same error message

Can you show us your .xinitrc file?

Looking over you xorg log, it says the intel module could notbe found. Have you installed your intel graphics card driver?

I have installed the driver

 xf86-video-intel 

. Do I have to initiate it in the openRC, too?

and here is my

.xinitfile 

 
Here (https://ptpb.pw/eWZU)

I might be wrong but I would say that I just start i3

Do you use the command startx or xinit?

Please try with xinit if you have not been.

I use the `bash_profile` file and call startx when I replace it with xinit I get an other permission denied message

the main error message is

parse_vt_settings: cannot open /dev/tty0 (permission denied)

my bash profile looks as follows

#
# ~/.bash_profile
#
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
exec startx
exec nm-applet

Can you remove that from your .bash_profile? Try running xinit manually from the console after login. It is easier to find if the problem is with tmux and xorg rather than a problem with autostarting xorg.

I removed the `startx` line out of the file and ran `xinit` then I get the following error message


psatebin (https://ptpb.pw/iSZT)

Add this:

needs_root_rights=yes

to /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

If that file already exists, show me the content please.

The file contains

`allowed_users=anybody`

 $ sudo cat /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config
allowed_users=anybody

That is fine, add the line I posted.

Hey Chris,

so I have added the line to the file and logged in and was able to run xinit without an issue. then I could also run tmux.

But when I add

exec xinit
 
to my bash_profile. and then run tmux I get an error that there is already an xorg session  

Sorry my bad I just needed to add to the `bash_profile` the lines


if [[ ! $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]]; then
  exec startx
fi

then everything worked

Good to see you figured it out (and reporting the solution). Please, mark this thread as [SOLVED] by editing the first message.

I found tmux issue that can't hold session for non-root user,root can hold tmux session when exit login shell  only.

(e)logind can close tmux sessions on user logout. You should set "KillUserProcesses=no" in [Login] section of /etc/elogind/logind.conf

thanks ,you are right
