Hey guys,
I'm trying to set up sddm with i3, but I can't seem to get xorg and stuff to work.
If I try and start sddm as normal user, I just get a blank screen with no keyboard/mouse input.
I get the follwing three errors:
Failed to change owner of the socket
Error in locking authority file
Failed to change owner of the auth file
If I start as root then it works fine (however that's obvoiuslly not a good idea).
I think it's because off the .serverauth files as when using startX (not xinit, that works fine without errors) it throws an error:
~/.serverauth.1201 does not exist
Btw that file number 1201 changes (it seems randomly generated or something), so I can't just create it myself.
I have also tried to manualy edit the name the config files executed used to something that does exist, but the same thing occurs.
Any advice, suggestions, tips or solutions would be greately appreciated!
Thanks so much!
EDIT:
This is the output sddm gives, startx actually doesn't give an error message, in fact it isn't run at all:
