Base installation voidlinux doesn't allow sudo in Xorg - eviltoast

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?

    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’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.

            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.

              Nope, xone ain’t doing it, it’s an Xbox series controller, but it could be related to my laptop hardware being extremely outdated idk, I should’ve tried it on a different distros, it works ootb on different machines running Arch and Pop

                If you haven’t already, try using a wired connection. That should remove the primary difference between xbox one and series controllers. I’d also suggest using a tool like antimicrox to see if you’re receiving input from the controller. You may also want to look into what solutions other distros use for Bluetooth, as the answer could be buried in there.

                  I’ve been trying exclusively a wired connection to dodgr Bluetooth issues, the controller is detected by the system (it’s creating a /dev/input/js0) and the controller vibrates on connecting but the LED is off and no input is received on the laptop’s side
