Stretch LiveCD with unprivileged X server running Chromium




Greetings,
 
I am trying to configure a live cd with that runs the Chromium web browser as a standalone with no window manager as an unprivileged user.
 
I can run xinit as root and everything works fine, but when I went to run xinit as a user I get an error of “parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)”. I was able to work around this my chmod 777 /dev/tty*, but now I do not have any keyboard or mouse functionality . What is the preferred long term solution?
 
For reference I have installed system-logind and libpam-systemd per the stretch release notes.
 
Thank you in advance for all your assistance.
