Update to #30 Upon further investigation On 14.04, the files in /usr/bin are binaries. -X is a suid wrapper binary -Xorg is the actual binary
On 16.04, they are scripts. -X is a link to Xorg -Xorg is a script, calling the actual executables in /usr/lib/xorg/. It seems the Xorg script in /usr/bin should check if the binary wrapper "Xorg.wrap" is present in /usr/lib/xorg. If it is, act as a suid wrapper and use /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config as it's config file(according to the man page for Xorg.warp), otherwise exec /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg directly. So it seems the problem is that the legacy package is not installing the Xorg.wrap binary (perhaps in only some cases???) as many users report editing Xwrapper.config has no effect. Also, dpkg -S Xorg.wrap shows no matches suggesting this may be an oversight? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562219 Title: Unprivileged xinit wont start in unallocated vt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinit/+bug/1562219/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
