This is the same issue as +bug/94933 and +bug/113988 from 2007 only with an added ACL issue. I disagree that this is only a feature request, this behavior used to be made to work by forcing the setting of $DISPLAY and was broken again, this time by the X ACL(access control list). It can again be kludged to work by adding 'xhost +local:' to your ~/.xprofile but this just introduces another secuity hole.
So fixing a security upgrade that forces the punching of a security hole to regain cron function at the GUI is an idea? Sounds like a bug to me. -- User Crontab is outside of GUI session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327190 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
