We are celebrating the fourth anniversary of this bug. Perhaps xinit should be removed from Ubuntu if it's not a maintained package anymore?

- chmod 666 /dev/tty1

None of these work.

The only option that works is installing xserver-xorg-legacy and configuring /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config as follows:

allowed_users=anybody
needs_root_rights=yes
