I have just installed Arch Linux first time on Virtual Box. The minimal installation was successful. After that I installed Xorg, again which was successful as I was able to create an X-session with 3 terminals and a clock. Then I installed 'cinnamon' as GDE.
Now I am unable to start a graphical session for normal user using 'xinit /usr/bin/cinnamon'. Always screen goes blank, I am able to move mouse pointer for a second and then it switch back to command line with the following messages -
Code:
Window manager warning: Log level 8: unable to create directory '/run/user/0/dconf': Permission denied. dconf will not work properly.
Window manager warning: Log level 8: unable to create directory '/root/.local/share' for storing the recently used files list: Permission denied
dump of Xorg log is

Since I am running as normal user, why X is trying to create files in /run and /root? Why don't in my home folder?
PS: I am able to run session in root mode( I know it is unsafe. Just for testing). However some buttons as logout and poweoff are not working.
