My Devuan debootstrap scripts work, but xorg only wants to start if I am the root user. You might have heard problems with xorg a million times, but I can't see what I am missing.
The scripts are on gitlab.
The user is part of the following groups: cdrom,console,floppy,sudo,audio,video,plugdev,netdev,tty,input
The installed xserver packages are:
xserver-xorg-video-dummy xserver-xorg-input-void xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-legacy xinit x11-xserver-utils xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Run my scripts at your own risk. It is not complete yet and might break stuff.
Script explanation:
- The config script contains all the variables which you can set;
- The install script runs debootstrap and mounts the folders;
- The chroot script gets executed in the chroot;
- The after-install script gets executed after the chroot script.
