Re: [DNG] Missing /run/user/$uid
Hello Alessandro,
Consolekit doesn't handle the /run/user stuff quite well.
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR isn't being populated and the user folder not
initialized. A workaround I came up with, to make sure XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
is always populated, is to insert the following lines in
your .xsessionrc:
if [ ! -d "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" ] && [ -d "/run/user/$(id -u)/" ]; then
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$(id -u)/"
fi
If XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is populated but the folder doesn't exists, then
follow Gregory's indications.
Cheers,
Ludovic

If this is your own personal machine, it probably wouldn't hurt. As
root:
mkdir /run/user/111
chmod 700 /run/user/111
chown user.group /run/user/111
As for your other question, /run/user/0 was probably created by a
program running as root for root. If there's a better way to do what
you want, or if what I propose isn't a good idea, someone else will
probably chime in.

[DNG] Missing /run/user/$uid
Hi all,
I create a terminal window for a different user using a script like so:
#! /bin/bash
#
# Extract auth of current user and run x-terminal-emulator in new user
printf -v altgksu 'export DISPLAY=:0; touch ~/.Xauthority; echo "%s"| xauth
nmerge -; dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 x-terminal-emulator;' "$(xauth nextract -
$DISPLAY)"
su -l -c "$altgksu" $1
When $1 is not root, I get errors from, e.g., geany, when it tries to create a
"uim" subdirectory:
stat("/run/user/111/uim", 0x7ffee78a9180) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
mkdir("/run/user/111/uim", 0700)= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "uim_helper_get_pathname() failed"..., 33) = 33
There is no folder 111 in /run/user. Should I create it in the above script?
But then, who created /run/user/0?
Best
Ale
