Re: [SOLVED] No keyboard or mouse after starting IceWM as non-root user.

That works for me under Alpine Linux with sway but I have to add my user to the audio, video & seat groups. Membership of the video & audio groups is not secure for a multi-user system though.
I think adding your user to the input group will let you access the input devices but that is also inappropriate if you have several users because it allows input snooping.

Yes, thanks, doing usermod -aG input myusername allows keyboard and mouse to work.

Also remained working after removing xserver-xorg-input-evdev and elogind packages.

It's a single-person machine - there will probably be different users for certain software (e.g. local servers, etc), but only one main/GUI user.

As a sanity check: is xserver-xorg-input-libinput installed? That should support all input devices.

Yes.

# dpkg-query -W xserver-xorg-input-*

Not really:

I was referring to it being an offline machine, and not just a quick single operation.

Anyhow, here's the Xorg.0.log from the other day, but assuming the input group method is only an issue when multiple human users I'm happy to consider this solved.

That works for me under Alpine Linux with sway but I have to add my user to the audio, video & seat groups. Membership of the video & audio groups is not secure for a multi-user system though.

I think adding your user to the input group will let you access the input devices but that is also inappropriate if you have several users because it allows input snooping.

As a sanity check: is xserver-xorg-input-libinput installed? That should support all input devices.

Not really:

curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st < ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log

Then post the returned URL.

The output on tty1 lists it after runlevel 2:

Starting session management daemon: elogind

Anyway, I ran update-rc.d elogind defaults and restarted to be sure - still not working.

I noticed there's a /var/log/daemon.log and whilst testing different loginctl options, I see that when executing loginctl user-status it adds a line stating:

Could not get properties: Is a directory

Searching on that message finds a Gentoo discussion also related to elogind not running properly:
https://linux.gentoo.user.narkive.com/d … atus-fails

My /run/systemd/sessions/ dir is also empty, whilst ps -A | grep elogin does show elogind-daemon running.

Wondering if it is worth purging elogind and installing seatd instead, or if that's still too new?

Was that under ~/.local/share/xorg/?

Yes, it's the user's log file. (The root one also has the systemd-logind error, confirming that as unrelated to this issue, but not the /dev/input/eventX ones.)

It's probably best to share the full content of the user X.Org log.

Perhaps, but since it'll be a bit of faff transferring it, and I have an alarm telling me to go do other stuff, I will do that at a later point.

No sessions.

Try enabling it:

# update-rc.d elogind defaults

Then reboot.

I think working login session is needed for the relevant permissions.

No elogind installed - after installing it, that command gives...

# loginctl --no-pager list-sessions
No sessions.

...but the issue remains.

I found a Debian thread with a similar issue stating xserver-xorg-input-all and xserver-xorg-input-evdev needed to be installed - the first already was, the second wasn't - but installing that didn't have any effect either.

I'm not sure if SysRq is enabled by default in Devuan — the content of /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq will show the status. I know systemd defaults to 0x10 (16) but I don't know about the alternative init systems.

It's not fully enabled/working - but before startx, Alt-SysRq-H switches to tty1 but doesn't display any help. Actually, it seems to toggle between current and previous tty, which is odd.

Value of /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq is 438 (which is Debian default I think even with systemd), but it still behaved the same after setting to 1.

My assumption was that being kernel-level it should get priority over whatever is hijacking/ignoring input, but even when fully enabled Alt-SysRq-H doesn't react when pressed inside IceWM running as root, so I guess I was wrong about that.

Checking Xorg.0.log there's a bunch of these (for different eventX devices) :

[   128.739] (**) Option "_source" "server/udev"

Grepping the file for "(EE)" also returned this...

[   128.446] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: PID 1497 does not belong to any known session

... but searching for that suggests it may be a red herring that can be ignored.

Hello Peter, welcome to the forums :-)

Is elogind installed and running?

loginctl --no-pager list-sessions

I think working login session is needed for the relevant permissions.

I'm not sure if SysRq is enabled by default in Devuan — the content of /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq will show the status. I know systemd defaults to 0x10 (16) but I don't know about the alternative init systems.

[SOLVED] No keyboard or mouse after starting IceWM as non-root user.

dummy@example.com (boughtonp) — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 16:20:03 +0000

Hello, I'm finally making the switch to Devuan from Debian.

I performed an offline install of Chimaera, deselecting the default xfce/desktop options during install to give me a terminal-based install.

Subsequently, I downloaded & installed "icewm" package (and dependencies), but that didn't give me X, so I also installed "xorg".

If I run startx as regular user, IceWM launches but the keyboard and trackpad do not work - the system hasn't frozen because the clock is updating - but Ctrl-Alt-[Fx] do not respond, nor do Alt+SysRq+[Key] do anything, so I need to hard power off and on again.

If I startx as root, IceWM launches and seems to work fine - keyboard and trackpad both working as expected - so I guess there's some kind of permission issue...?

Do I need to install some other package instead of, or as well as, xorg?

Shouldn't the icewm package have relevant dependencies, such that apt install icewm is all I needed?
