Did you check if your login shell is (still) listed in /etc/shells?
I can assume you did, but you didn't mention this :).
Yes, I checked and all shells are there. No problem.
Also, try capturing the output of startx. Perhaps there is something useful
there that isn't in the journal.
X will not start on the normal kernel or LTS.
Exact startx error is "xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused"
In the posted output, there was some dbus error. Did this one happen before also?
Perhaps some daemon just needs a reload or restart. Did you try rebooting?
Rebooted and also tried on LTS. Same issue for both linux and linux-LTS, so
that seems to eliminate the kernel as the cause. I don't know if the dbus
error was there before as I had never had any problem. Checking the journal,
the earliest dbus error was on Feb 2:
Feb 02 03:24:50 valkyrie lightdm[787]: Error getting user list from
org.freedesktop.Accounts:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files
But... lightdm, X, etc.. continued to work until the Feb 7 updates.
This has "just worked" for nearly a decade. I saw updates to Xorg-server and
openssl3 today. Didn't know if that could be related to "connection refused",
but I fully upgraded and the problem remains.
Xorg.0.log looks fine, there are no issues, so X itself is happy. What changed
that now prevents a connection to it?
