I updated ubuntu to server-version 16.04 and this line

ExecStart = /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/openbox-session -- :0 -nolisten tcp vt7

gives me the following error

Code:

Fatal server error:
(EE) xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open virtual console 7 (Permission denied)

In the Xorg log there is the error

Code:

[  2042.179] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to take device /dev/dri/card0: Operation not permitted

Btw. your issue is something else, the user running that command is not member of video group and most likely you have to reenter the command for getting xserver start permissions from the initial howto.

I had the same issue with 16.04, my kodi user is in the video group but it seems that doesn't help. I added a line to /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config and now it works. Xserver is running as root which may raise some concerns but I don't consider it a problem on a dedicated Kodi box.

Xwrapper.config

Code:

allowed_users=anybody
needs_root_rights=yes

I use a BeebOx and did the custom EDID thing to get a picture if it starts up without a connected AVR but it seems this doesn't work with my Onkyo TX-SR 805. If I turn on the AVR after the boot of the box is completed I only get a black screen. A restart of the Xserver fixes that. I don't know yet what the problem is there but I had that working with a NVIDIA card and a custom EDID.

As I never had a INTEL based setup I just want to confirm, that it should work as I expect. Does a custom EDID enable to boot a BeeBox without tha AVR turned on and having it put signal through to my AVR as soon as I turn it on?
