[Bug 196464] Re: After gdm upgrade no X cliens can be run
Again today, after dist-upgrade. But this time gdm was not upgraded, although xorg-driver-fglrx (which has atieventsd) was. I tried to look deeper into this, and it seems that in this case it is caused by atieventsd calling xauth add/remove -f /home/xxx/.Xauthority as root, which triggers the ownership change. Do you have this installed (xorg-driver-fglrx)? In any case, to debug I made a simple shell wrapper for xauth which logs when it is called and who calls it.

The same for me :) No gdm upgrade but something else, but don't know which package exactly but yes, xorg-driver-fglrx is installed: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg-query -W xorg-driver-fglrx xorg-driver-fglrx 1:7.1.0-8-3+2.6.24.12-16.34 So maybe it's not about gdm but package xorg-driver-fglrx ? -- After gdm upgrade no X cliens can be run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196464 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 196464] Re: After gdm upgrade no X cliens can be run
I have seen the same problem (I do not know if it is related to GDM, but this is with hardy). At the moment it's particularly bad; .Xauthority reverts to root:root within a second of changing it by hand to user:user. It seems to be atieventsd which is the trigger of this (but possibly not the cause; I tried strace on it but it didn't seem to call chown itself). When I stop it, .Xauthority stays as user:user. -- After gdm upgrade no X cliens can be run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196464 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 196464] Re: After gdm upgrade no X cliens can be run
Ok, but if it's true that gdm should not using tmp, what's this in the output of strace (it's an example, now I run xterm)? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ strace -o /tmp/L xterm [...] access(/tmp/.gdmFV696T, R_OK) = 0 open(/tmp/.gdmFV696T, O_RDONLY) = 4 Since the file has gdm in its name (this is the file whose ownership goes to root:root after upgrade it seems), I thought it's a file of gdm. Maybe I'm wrong, as I've written before this is only a guess from me that it's a gdm bug, it can be other, of course. So I could recompose this bugreport as cannot run X clients after major upgrades from remote ssh session, but I don't know upgrade of which package cause this exactly (well, sorry if my comment seems to be intrusive, but because my English is far from perfect I always worry about others not able to understand me correctly ...). By the way, it seems that env.var. XAUTHORITY has got value of /tmp/.gdmFV696T, exactly this file. No disk issue, I'm sure.

[Bug 196464] Re: After gdm upgrade no X cliens can be run
As I've mentioned I'm not sure that it's caused by gdm or gdm upgrade but this problem occurs on larger upgrades and at least it seemed for me that gdm can be the reason. However I'm only sure in the symptom: no X clients can be run at one point (as far as I remember after upgrades), trying to strace them indicated that a file in /tmp/ directory can't be opened because of the root ownership, after chown'ing back to my user it works, so I assume that it was owened by me before (since X clients worked before) however something alterted the ownership of that file to root and this is the problem. I'm not sure that gdm upgrade caused this, though, only guessing. /etc/gdm/gdm.conf is attached. However I'm not sure what king of log should I post here. ** Attachment added: gdm.conf http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12339480/gdm.conf -- After gdm upgrade no X cliens can be run https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196464 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
