Hi. I answered your jabber message briefly, but for completeness let me answer here as well.
gksu --debug id gives me STARTUP_ID: gksu/id/6533-0-chiyo_TIME1808071 And gksu --debug echo blarg blarg blarg gives me STARTUP_ID: gksu/echo 'blarg' 'blarg' 'blarg'/6547-0-chiyo_TIME1874655 To get a longer startup id, it's just a question of adding more "blarg" arguments to echo, so this should be sufficient to reproduce the problem (albeit in a constructed form). Hm, better yet, here is reproduction recipe that shows the actual problem of xauth breaking: yes :0 | head -30 | xargs gksu --debug xauth list works, but yes :0 | head -300 | xargs gksu --debug xauth list does not. -- Hardcoded buffer size in gksu-run-helper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173757 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
