I installed LXDM and LightDM, I couldn’t login from the DM in either cases, so I decided to run LXQt using startx
which worked, except I couldn’t sudo from the terminal emulator inside LXQt, while I was able to sudo normally in tty, I’ve tried enabling elogind, nothing changed, my user is in the wheel
group and my system is up to date
What does “doesn’t allow sudo” mean? Did you get an error that provided a reason? What exactly did you do?
It says incorrect password, I’m pretty sure it is entered correctly
But what does. Be specific. Are you prompted on the CLI or is there a pop-up window that you’re entering credentials into?
I dont use neither void and neither x11, but that seems like a common thing that should be mentioned in the docs? i think
I looked up void docs, the only recommended thing I found was enabling elogind :/
Try starting with dbus session. Also try lxqt-session and startlxqt commands.
I’ve tried
exec dbus-run-session -- startlxqt
Nothing changed
I also tried
exec lxqt-session
It ran a broken session with no panel, I tried to sudo from there but it also said incorrect password
What shell are you running in your terminal? If I’m remembering correctly, it’s recommended to set the shells during the installation, so that could be the issue here.
Both bash and fish are returning incorrect password upon trying to execute any command with sudo
Interesting, could also be the tty. If it’s causing you a lot of trouble, you might want to just reinstall.
Reinstalled the xfce build, everything works well, except my controller tho
I generally find this to be the easiest option if my system is giving me issues. Void took me a few installs before getting the right combination of packages and services running. It’s definitely my favorite distro so far, considering that it provides stability while remaining on a rolling release cycle.
As to your controller, look into the xpadneo or xone packages. Both are available on Void. Not certain they’ll work with PlayStation controllers, but I wasn’t able to find any packages dedicated to them.
