after tumbleweed update, xinit failed, but runs as root
by sirius57 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4TCYS)
After a software update on tumbleweed, I see the following:
xinit failed. /usr/bin/xorg is not setuid, maybe that is the reason? If so, either use a display manager (strongly recommended) or adjust /etc/permissions.local and run "chkstat --system --set" afterwords.
I compared the /etc/permissions.local file in a laptop running tumbleweed and both files were identical. Does xorg not have the permissions to run as local user? If so, is this fixed in a root terminal?
