From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

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
