ARM64 - startx won't run

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

After the “New Arm Tumbleweed snapshot 20211005 released!” announcement, I did a zypper dup and noticed that there was a kernel-firmware-sound update. But I ran into a problem. It left me in a terminal. I logged in as user and invoked startx. It errored out telling me that /usr/bin/Xorg was not setuid. I changed my /etc/permissions.local but that did not help.

Sorry I haven’t quoted my terminal responses, but it’s hard to keep running from one box to another when you can’t copy and paste. What should my /etc/permissions.local settings be?

Startx has been depreciated for some time try init6

#3

My apology. It’s Tumbleweed ARM64.

Here is the response to startx…

(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 3 (Permission Denied)
.
.
VGA Arbitration: Cannot restore default device.
(EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error

xinit failed. /usr/bin/Xorg is not setuid, maybe that's the reason?
If so either use a display manager (strongly suggested) or adjust /etc/permissions.local and run "chkstat --system --set" afterwards.

There was a configured display manager but I changed it using

 sudo update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager

I lost my terminal at CTL-F3 and nothing else changed.

Just did a zypper dup to Arm Tumbleweed snapshot 20211006

and I get to boot in normally, and have analog sound. Thanks developers. Video testing next.

Added Packman repository and then zypper dup and I have full video with Smplayer. Many thanks again developers.
