startx as user on system boot fails

  • 772

I am running a chromium kiosk. in my rc.local I have

sudo -u myuser startx &

to boot my ubuntu and start it with a chromium. Since 16.04 i get the following error:

 parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)

Running startx as root in rc.local works.

Logging in as myuser manually then startx works too.

16.04

  1. I don't have a good answer, however you can work around that error message by adding an ACL to /dev/tty0:

    sudo setfacl -m u:kioskme:rw /dev/tty0
