As a workaround, install the attached shell script as /etc/X11/Xsession.d/10local-xauthority
It uses xauth to merge ~/.Xauthority into $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/xauthority and then updates XAUTHORITY to point at that location. (Note that the "xauth merge" command will leave a warning such as "xauth: file /run/user/1597/xauthority does not exist" in ~/.xsession- errors.) In the long run, it would of course be more elegant if LightDM (and other display managers) created the X authority file there in the first place. ** Attachment added: "/etc/X11/Xsession.d/10local-xauthority" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1648107/+attachment/4789021/+files/local-xauthority -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1648107 Title: $XAUTHORITY should move into $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1648107/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
