Good morning, fellow CRUXers!
After yesterday's update, today my X refused to start without any obvious errors: `slim -d` does nothing without any errors and with 0 exit code, when omitting the `-d`, I get exit code 1 and the error "/usr/bin/xauth: file /var/run/slim.auth does not exist" although the file exists (owned by root with rw-------). I uploaded the output of `strace slim` to https://eckner.net/log - maybe, someone of you has an idea, what's going on, here?
The trace shows that the X server isn't running. So you should be looking for the reason in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, look for lines marked EE: grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log Perhaps you updated some xorg packages but not others, causing an ABI incompatibility. In that case, the solution is simple, update the packages with the old ABI. Cheers! Alan
