  1. These error logs don’t exist on devkit. I tested on custom carrier.
  2. These logs appear when the default user is common user.
  3. When I set root as default user, these logs disappear. But they appear again when I start vnc service, which shows like this:
    gdm
    gdm1834×231 70.3 KB
  4. These logs are harmless to the display function. I want to know the reason and whether this phenomenon appears on custom carrier or not.
    Thank you all.

Hi,
Please check if the user is not added into certain group. If we add nvidia user on developer kit, it is added in the groups:

$ groups nvidia
nvidia : nvidia adm sudo audio video render gdm weston-launch

Hi, DaneLLL,
My default name is orin, please help to check whether there is a problem with my environment.

$ groups orin
orin : wheel adm sudo audio video render gdm weston-launch
$ getent group gdm
gdm:x:130:orin
$ grep gdm /etc/passwd
gdm:x:124:130:Gnome Display Manager:/var/lib/gdm3:/bin/false

I use HDMI interface and have no other operations about gdm.

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks

Is this still an issue to support? Any result can be shared?
