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
