#Startx only runs as root driver

another configuration you can use is for the modesetting driver. Reboot and see if it's working, if not, name sure optimus-manager didnt overwrite the file with it's own contents. Option 'DRI' '3' # DRI2 and DRI1 are alternatives if DRI3 performs performs poorly You can try falling back to DRI2 if you run

#Startx only runs as root driver

# This driver now uses DRI3 as the default Direct Rendering # xorg configuration for use with intel driver.

create a configuration for intel with the following contents.

conf file name or it will be read and used as a configuration.

go to /etc/X11// and backup and remove the currently used video configuration (just dont leave it in the directory with.

set intel mode with optimus-manager but dont logout or reboot yet.

either way, you can try both kernel options and if it makes no difference, you can try this: When I try to start X server with my normal user. The only way I could manage to start X server was running startx with root, booting on single user mode. At the momment, the boot freezes in a black screen. I have a NVIDIA Optimus setup, with an GTX 1050 Ti card and an Intel 630 integrated. can you see if still happens on other kernels, 4.19 4.20 ? the other possibility might just come down to optimus manager. Ive recently done a manjaro-architect 18 installation. Some people are having issues with the 5.0 kernel and the intel driver. With root, I can start bumblebee service, load the nvidia driver and run optirun with success. Video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-bumblebee 2018.08.09 false PCI

Trying to change to a text console with chvt fails doesn't change anything.I've recently done a manjaro-architect 18 installation. I've been reading that connecting via SSH doesn't mean that you're connected to a text console, which you need to run startx. If I change the /etc/X11/nfig to allow anybody to startx, I get the following: Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console When trying to launch startx as a non-root user, I get the following: /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server The Device section in nf file looks like this: Section 'Device' Any subsequent connection via VNC is with root, which I want to avoid. The VM has an Nvidia card, and after generating the nf with nvidia-xconfig, I can start an X session using startx, but only as root. I am using x11vnc, which requires an X server to be running.

I have a remote VM running Ubuntu 1804 and would like to run VNC.
