So the plot sickens.. I can start Xfce4 with startxfce4 from a tty, and synaptic works. If I use wdm to start xfce4, it does not. The DISPLAY variable for both is :0.0
It turns out that WDM does not set XAUTHORITY. If you export it like so in the terminal window: export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority it runs. The bug is with WDM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/829099 Title: synaptic-pkexec fails: cannot open display 0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/829099/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
