Hey,
So I tried to use this guide to set up DWM and ran into a few xinit related problems. When I tried to run startx, xinit would abort due to plentiful lacking permissions, I fixed it by usermod-ing my user into the video and input groups.
I want to add that I am running Alpine in a VM and this could be a specific problem relating to that, but if not I would suggest changing
# adduser myname
to this:
# useradd -m -G wheel,video,input myname
I did not get it to work by just using the adduser command due to unfamiliarity, if anyone wants to change my command to correctly using adduser I will not cry. But the important thing seems to be that the user is part of the video and input groups for DWM to launch properly.
