CDM fails to start X in latest Archlinux about cdm HOT 9 CLOSED

I don't think this should have been closed; I still had to apply the changes in #33 to fix this issue for me, which hasn't been merged.

from cdm.

I also have this issue.

As described in the OP's thread, removing the trailing '&' from the setsid command in /usr/bin/cdm-xlaunch works around this issue for now.

from cdm.

Removing the '&' doesn't work for me. I still get "ConsoleKit registration timed out".

from cdm.

I also have this issue. The latest version included an update to xorg-server and came with this text:
"xorg-server has now the ability to run without root rights with the help of systemd-logind. x-server wil fail to run if not launched from the same virtual terminal as was used to log in. without root rights, log files in ~/.local/share/xorg/"
and something like "Restore old behavior through Xorg.wrap config file."

from cdm.

@mikeantonacci I've got he same issue since updating xorg-server. Let me know if you figure it out.

I'm suspecting that the setsid call in cdm-xlaunch has something to do with it, removing it doesn't help however since then I don't have permission to launch X on the default tty (7). Changing the tty to the special value 'self', doesn't seem to work for me either.

I have created a pull request that, for my setup, is a temporary fix for both the problem of startx backgrounding not working and Xorg 1.16's changes:

#33

I do not have access to any different setups, nor do I have a lot of experience with X or Xorg, so please let me know if you have any problems or advice.

#33, fixes the problem. Any reason it has not been merged?

from cdm.

Check out the #33 comments. Basically, it was not clear to me if the solution would work for everyone. Feel free to make your own pull request with the same changes.

Had the same issue as @benpence and the fix worked.
