[root@blip root]# up2date --nox -u X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to localhost:12.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). [root@blip root]# rpm -q up2date up2date-2.7.11-7.x.2 [root@blip root]#
echo DISPLAY? output of `which up2date` Sounds like userhelper not being able to open the display set in DISPLAY /usr/sbin/up2date to bypass userhelper if so, it's fixed in the next version of usermode.
[root@blip root]# which up2date /usr/bin/up2date [root@blip root]# Using /usr/sbin/up2date works.
I've always SSH'ed into my machines and run up2date --nox to do whatever up2date functions I need. I applied the up2date errata on my systems yesterday via rhn.redhat.com but the RHN web site didn't update the system list appropriately. So I logged in to my systems and ran the following: [root@ushqappl01 root]# up2date --nox -p X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to localhost:11.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). [root@ushqappl01 root]# rpm -qf `which up2date` up2date-gnome-2.7.46-7.x.2 [root@ushqappl01 root]# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/up2date up2date-2.7.46-7.x.2 [root@ushqappl01 root]# /usr/sbin/up2date --nox -p Updating package profile... [root@ushqappl01 root]# This isn't the behavior I'm used to from up2date. Is this intentional? Thanks, Jason
uhm, off hand, that shouldnt of changed. That code path has really changed (at least, not intentionally...) It seems to work correctly for me, after ssh'ing both with a valid DISPLAY and invalid DISPLAY. If you have a valid DISPLAY, but bogus xauth, that might be tripping up userhelper. Easy way to find out is to run: /usr/sbin/up2date If that works, it definately a userhelper issue. That will be fixed with the next release of userhelper. Off hand, I dont know what would of changed in up2date that would have made a difference. I'll look into it.
versions of up2date greater than 2.7.62 used in conjuction with usermode greater than 1.5 should fix this.
I'm not seeing any issues running up2date over ssh with up2date-3.1.15-7.
