Permission denied even though I allowed it to????
hi. ive been trying to get xfce4 working on proot distro alpine linux, but the permission denied error is slowly driving me crazy and i've done all i could do to fix it. not even revoking permissions and then giving the permission back worked. i dont really know what to do
if anyone could please tell me the solution i'd appreciate it

weird. i thought someone typed in here
i did, but is kinda dumb question, so i removed it xd
ok
anyway, have you tried to just install and run xfce4 with termux x11, without the command that got permission denied.
i did install xfce4 but i cant start the desktop environment
it says permission denied
oh and when i try to do the "sudo" thing it says command not found
what did i do wrong?
not even reinstalling termux works
