That's because with xhost set, apps fall back to using XWayland. At some point in the future XWayland will disappear and this hack will no longer work. Comments in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1274451 suggest that the xhost hack opens up potential security holes allowing anything run by root to connect to your session. BTW, unlike here, that bug contains an explanation of why the xhost hack (currently) works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1712089 Title: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyUnable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/1712089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
