This happened after an upgrade from Fedora 39 to Fedora 40. It
did not go well.

This issue did not appear until -- out of frustration with
selinux -- I threw a

touch /.autorelabel; reboot

then the xinit error occurred. Apparently, ligntdm is using
xinit.


This is the xinit error I am getting:

$ xinit
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
(EE)
(EE)
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.x.org
for help.
(EE)
No protocol specified

xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Resource temporarily unavailable
xinit: server error



removing /tmp/.X0-lock does no good.
