Iordan Iordanov, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is
already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one
would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Cannot launch more than one xvfb instance as different users

Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  
  (1) As a certain user (userX), launch xvfb using xinit (successfully) thus:

  $ /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- /usr/bin/Xvfb :40 -screen 0
  1280x1024x24 -cc 4 -nolisten tcp

  [dix] Could not init font path element 
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType, removing from list!
  /usr/bin/xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1

  
  (2) As another user (userY), launch xvfb using xinit *unsuccessfully*:

  $ /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- /usr/bin/Xvfb :41 -screen 0
  1280x1024x24 -cc 4 -nolisten tcp

  [dix] Could not init font path element 
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType, removing from list!
  [xkb] Can't rename /tmp/fileHBWEE2 to 
/tmp/server-B20D7FC79C7F597315E3E501AEF10E0D866E8E92.xkm, error: Operation not 
permitted
  [xkb] Can't rename /tmp/fileOBPSkE to 
/tmp/server-B20D7FC79C7F597315E3E501AEF10E0D866E8E92.xkm, error: Operation not 
permitted
  XKB: Failed to compile keymap
  Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of 
xkeyboard-config.

  Fatal server error:
  Failed to activate core devices.
  /usr/bin/xinit: giving up
  /usr/bin/xinit: unable to connect to X server: No such file or directory
  /usr/bin/xinit: server error

  
  (3) The reason is that 
/tmp/server-B20D7FC79C7F597315E3E501AEF10E0D866E8E92.xkm already exists and is 
owned by userX, as detailed here on the same system:

  $ ls -l /tmp/server-B20D7FC79C7F597315E3E501AEF10E0D866E8E92.xkm
  -rw------- 1 userX groupX 11252 Oct 17 16:49 
/tmp/server-B20D7FC79C7F597315E3E501AEF10E0D866E8E92.xkm
