parse_vt_settings /dev/tty0 (permission denied) - raspberry-pi

Question

I am trying to run xinit chromium-browser some_settings address:port in /home/pi/.bashrc file.
What it does in first version of "Jessie PIXEL" is open chromium browser on start up after console auto-login and opens the page address:port.
In new version of Jessie PIXEL I get the following error:

Answer 1

In particular, you want to add your user to the tty group to resolve this specific issue.
gpasswd -a pi tty
where pi is your user.

Answer 2

I encountered the same issue.
How I solve this was:
create new user named teacher
grant all groups that pi has
cp the /etc/suders.d/010_pi-nopasswd and rename the inner username to teacher
startx and it works.
Be careful:
don't run startx in byobu, some bugs.

Answer 3

I found a solution:
I don't use .bashrc anymore and I fully moved to rc.local.
sudo node /home/pi/server/server.js &
xinit /usr/bin/chromium-browser --no-sandbox --window-size=1920,1080 --noerrdialogs --start-fullscreen --start-maximized --disable-notifications --disable-infobars --kiosk --incognito http://localhost:3000 -- -nocursor &
exit 0
What this does is runs node.js server on port 3000 and runs chromium on localhost:3000 with no mouse cursor and fully sized chromium browser in something like 15-20 sec time.
Now working on showing it without going blank. Still no success, HELP!
EDIT:
If chromium appears with borders use this:
xinit /usr/bin/chromium-browser --no-sandbox --window-position=0,0 --window-size=1920,1080 --noerrdialogs --disable-notifications --disable-infobars --kiosk --incognito http://localhost:3000 -- -nocursor &
