Can't launch Xorg

13 January 2021, 14:49:57

I can't launch Xorg.

I don't know what is the problem, but I think what's happening is that X is getting elogind's PID from before the early getty went down, for some reason.

If I logout and login back again it works as expected.

PS: I use autologin in tty1.

How are  you autologging into tty1? Are you using the /etc/s6/sv/agetty-tty1-conf option in the file?

Hello, I don't know if this has something to do with the elogind update but in my case I cannot login since TTY1, I had to open tty2 and then use the command "startx" to have xorg working.

Best regards.

I disabled autologin on tty1 and the issue persists. If I login to another tty or logout and back in, it works.

According to the log, it seems that either no graphic drivers are installed for your graphic card (nvidia?), or there is no xorg.conf file. Try to run

Code: [Select]

# X -configure

and then copy /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Also, check if xf86-video-nouveau or proprietary nvidia drivers are installed.

Solved it. I removed `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` (which enables Kernel Mode Setting) from the kernel parameters. I think what caused the issue was the update from nvidia-dkms 455.45.01-1 to nvidia-dkms 460.32.03-1.
