[Bug 1525735] [NEW] X server fails to start under regular user in Xenial

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

The newest ISO image of Ubuntu GNOME Xenial Xerus does not launch the
graphical installer on boot. Instead, it waits at the text-based login
screen. I can log in using the default username of 'ubuntu-gnome' and
start the X server with 'sudo startx.' Note that just 'startx' does not
work; the command must be run as root. I am able to proceed with the
installation as normal after starting X.

After the system is fully installed, the problem persists. X can still
be started manually after login.
