39420: Xorg segmentation fault #2912

I’ve just updated Clearlinux to 39420, and Xorg refuses to start with this error:

Looks like you found the issue on GitHub - per Arjan’s response, we’re focusing on Wayland, as no-one wants to spend resources on Xorg these days.

See also Arjan’s comments in this forum post about the future of X and Wayland in Clear Linux.

How much free space do you have on your Disk drive

I had a similar problem with X after I updated clear Linux not to version 39420 but an old version a while ago and the disk was using the reserve space of the ext4 file system. Deleting enough files to free up space fixed the issue.

Hi, I checked the disk and it’s almost empty, I think the problem is elsewhere.
Thank you
