If you su to root in a terminal, can you (eg) launch an xterm? Mhh, I can't: [root@work liveuser]# xterm No protocol specified Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the root user. The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running the program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable. xterm Xt error: Can't open display: %s Happening also with the desktop live image. Reassigning to libXau as it changed last week and sounds like it could suspiciously be related. The actual component to be fixed, though, might be that pam_xauth needs updating for the libXau changes so also cc'ing tmraz pam_xauth does not call libXau directly. It execs xauth to copy the cookie. Adam -- any thoughts? So, that change was put in to work around networkmanager enthusiastically changing the hostname out from under you. But I think the change implements the wrong thing; it should really only do the sloppy (non-hostname-sentitive) match if it couldn't find a strict match. Maybe. Need to think about it more. Reverted in 1.0.4-5 at any rate. Tested with the new bits on Friday and installs work again. Thanks ajax Cannot confirm this with a KDE live image. I'm still unable to start graphical apps as root. The changes from friday were mostly gdm related. So does kdm also needs to be fixed? The change was in libXau, not gdm. So it should be applicable for both. Does your image have libXau-1.0.4-5? Just built a kde live image and it worked fine (with libXau-1.0.4-5) Yes, libXau-1.0.4-5 is included (for all included packages see: http://www.deadbabylon.de/fedora/livecd/packagelists/f11/long-F11-KDE-053-i686.txt). I've also created a Desktop spin and there it works, but not on the kde one. Mhh. Strange. It does work if I boot from a cd. It does not work If I boot from a local partition or an usb stick. But the same usb stick is working fine on my EEE. sebastian, can you check this again? it's on the preview release blocker list. you could test with the Snapshot image, I think. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Sure, sorry for the delay: It's fixed now (tested with a live image from yesterday). |
