livna nvidia driver works with FC6 root but not other users
I installed the livna nvidia driver on my FC6 machine. It works well when I'm log in as root but does not work if I'm a user.
Any suggestions? Thanks! |
Make sure Xorg is suid root. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log after a failed attempt to see what the complaint is.
|
It's probably a dumb question: How do I make Xorg suid root?
Thanks for your patience. |
As root, say "chmod u+s Xorg". If Xorg is suid root, "ls -l Xorg" will display "-rws--x--x", with the 4th character "s" instead of "x".
|
Thanks! Will try that and report back!
|
X org is already -rws--x--x.
If I do startx, I get the Nvidia logo and then it crashes. I think the following maybe the relevant message: " mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied" What do I do? Thanks in advance. |
Beats me. Check with ls -l that /tmp and /var/tmp have permissions: drwxrwxrwt
|
It turned out that for some reason, /tmp is not writeable by user.... I did chmod 777 /tmp and the problem is gone.
Thanks a lot for your help. |
