As root, try setenforce 0 and then try again as a user. That makes selinux permissive, you can return to enforcing with setenforce 1 You might post some of the message from var/log/Xorg*.log or journalctl -r to see what is happening when you try to start X. What desktop are you trying to start. It might be worth a try to use the exact command that starts that desktop. Could it be that you are actually running a wayland desktop, and so X is not available? _______________________________________________ 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
