Hi,
help, got totally fed up with the recurring mouse issues when screensaver kicks in, so tried to mitigate the problem by removing plasma and kde.
Now when I reboot it goes to a totally white screen at the time when the login prompt should appear.
Alt-F2 gets me to the login prompt, so when I logged in there and tried a few things, cant scroll up to see what got me there, anyway it said xinit failed and says /usr/bin/Xorg is not setuid, maybe thats the reason, either use a display manager or adjust /etc/permissions.local and run “checkstat --system --set”, could not see anything worth adjusting on permissions.local, so I ran:
checkstat --system --set
gives the following lines:
/etc/permissions
/etc/permissions.easy
/etc/permissions.d/squid
/etc/permissions.d/texlive
/etc/permissions.local
setting /usr/sbin/pinger to squid:root 0750 “=cap_net_raw+ep”. (wrong owner/group root:root permissions 0755, missing capabilities)
/usr/sbin/pinger: chmod: operation not permitted
/usr/sbin/pinger: cap_set_file: operation not permitted
setting /usr/sbin/basic_pam_auth to root:shadow 2750 (wrong owner/group root:root permissions 0755)
/usr/sbin/basic_pam_auth: chmod: operation not permitted
setting /usr/bin/Xorg to root:root 4711 (wrong permissions 0755)
/usr/bin/Xorg: chmod: operation not permitted
ERROR: not all operations were successful.
This time I am not even able to limp into a useable page, so have to copy this by hand.
Any ideas what to do next?
