Tried "adduser -aG video $USER" . Didn't help. So reinstall with another install disk is required.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/4662/wh … re-x-there okay, so there are some configuration files related to xorg. But they are not all under /etc/X11 . I find that annoying .

P.S.
"ls -las  /dev/fb*" says:

0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 29, 0 Mar 28 02:13 /dev/fb0

my normal_user_account doesn't have video in its groups. It's easy to add that group but will there be unintended consequences for that action?

Edit. found this: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/conf … org.77666/ , the group_thing was mentioned. Although there are still some more search results to read.

And /usr/bin/Xorg doesn't have any s-bits in its access rights. Should it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msxbcwSucF0 tha album "By Inheritance" by Artillery. I think i heard the song "Khomaniac" on radio like 30 years ago.

I think the o-rights for /dev/tty* were "---" . And the seatd's complaints involved access rights about seatd's socket under /run. Have to confirm that though.

If that's the case with tty dev files then lxdm or lightdm can access those dev files with g- or u- rights.
Not yet sure how this hypothesis can help with solving the problem.

Chmod o+rw /dev/tty* may have side effects.
Would like to consult some x-related man pages in the case they'll help.
Would also like to find out what it is that xorg need that startx can't provide.

Ok, "xorg needs something that is not available" could explain why plain startx or startxfce won't work.
But how do i make those commands work? What it is that is needed?

Also it is annoying that GUI is put into init 2. In the Good Old Times X started in init 3 or init 5 .
That way, if there's problems with X, you could make init 2 the default and log into text mode.

The obvious solution, of course, is to reinstall Daedalus, this time with desktop version instead of netinstall.
Considering the partition scheme i currently have, netinstall is not absolutely necessary and on the other hand maybe desktop install disk knows how to set up xorg properly.

The amount of automagick in these current distros is annoying... when there is problems there's also no config files to be found.

Edit. maybe find /usr -name 'xorg*' helps. Didn't find xorg.conf under /etc last night.

Tried to remove xorg/xorg/lxd* - related packages and reinstall some of them. Now i have kind of broken my system. LUckily chimaera livedvd still works.

Before that i went into text mode again.
Run "Xorg -configure" .
And then tried to start X with the configfile which the previous command provided.
X refused to start.
I saw some complaints about seatd in the log (Xorg.0.lod under my home_dir).

In some log file there were also complaints about /dev/tty$SOMETHING - files.

So seatd/libseatd/access rights of /dev/tty* are the suspects now.

Btw. i'm using Daedalus now instead of Chimaera.

I have used update-iniramfs and mkinitramfs before. Not sure that init{ramfs,rd} have something to do with that freezing problem.
But i'll return to that signing/verifying-subject soon.

It will be highly practical if it is only vmlinuz that needs to be signed (or verified during boot process).
On the other hand maybe initrd should be signed also.

Edit. question: can i brick my machine by experimenting with mokutil?
I think that PK and KEK should be left alone even if they can be changed.

Fujitsu is now mostly working as supposed to. I have lightdm as display manager and xfce4 as desktop software. With those there's a small problem.
If i exit from xfce with "log out" , the display goes dark gray and nothing happens until i push power button.
On the other hand if i say "sudo /sbin/reboot" as normal user, the display also goes dark gray but the machine still reboots after some waiting.
What's going on?

I think i have read a post about that "hangs while rebooting/logging out"-problem but it takes some effort to find it...

Tried to install Daedalus netinstall on a vm. I have confirmed that i have to re-enter details about "/" -partition after configuring logical volumes. Or i can't get out of that partitioning phase.
Slightly irrational like Spock would say.
