Mouse/Keyboard won't work as sudo user

Postby EmptyDivine » Thu Jul 02, 2015 9:22 am

Hello everyone,

I just installed Arch Linux ARM on my Raspberry Pi 2.

I want to listen to music using vlc player but it won't run as root, so I tried to use my user account (which has sudo rights).

I have to start xfce4 using "sudo startxfce4" and when I do, I won't be able to move my mouse or use my keyboard in any way.


Any tipps? (I'm really new to Arch :? )

First, stop running your window manager as root/sudo.
