Closing log file. I use startx to start my graphical sessions after booting to runlevel 3 / multiuser, and have no problem. I've seen this problem, but not recently. I think it means that your user is not in the proper groups to be allowed to switch to root when running X. As root, run cat /etc/group | grep pdupre Are you in the wheel, video, and audio groups? I think if you add yourself to those groups, X will start for you as a normal user. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
