0 cardinal Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 The partition{s} for the root filesystem / and /home must be mounted read/write, yours appear to be mounted read only. Check /etc/fstab and remove a ro option if it exists. The /etc/fstab for mounting the partition for / on my funtoo install: UUID=8c41a40b-5166-4c6c-9819-0713ffca423d / ext4 noatime 0 1 Funtoo is installed on my system on one partition /dev/sda9 and it is rw rj@funtoo ~ $ mount /dev/sda9 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ria Posted September 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Thank you. This is my fstab. #<fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass> LABEL=root / ext4 noatime 0 1 No changes, same message, /dev/sda9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cardinal Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) There are at least three possible reasons xauth can't create ~/.Xauthority and xorg-server can't create /tmp/.X0-lock 1. The partition{s} containing /tmp and /home are mounted read-only. 2. The partition{s} containing /tmp and /home have no free space. 3. The permissions are wrong and too restrictive for /tmp and ~/ Footnote: ~/ is an abbreviation for /home/<your regular users name here> you are currently logged into.
