Description Daniel Walsh 2012-05-23 19:44:02 UTC
Description of problem:

Every Xephyr window comes up black, if I downgrade to f17 version everything works.  Certainly breaks sandbox badly.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-18 16:01:14 UTC
 /usr/bin/Xephyr -displayfd 10
_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running


This is the cause.


Can some one look at this?  It is now in Fedora 17.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-18 16:01:35 UTC
All sandbox apps are now broken.

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2012-06-18 16:12:10 UTC
I am seeing this here too. :( 

This is quite anoying, as you can't use X sandbox at all with this bug.

Comment 5 Simo Sorce 2012-06-20 16:08:45 UTC
Up, can we get at least an acknowledgement from the maintainer ?

Comment 6 Peter Hutterer 2012-06-21 01:43:00 UTC

> _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
> _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

this usually means you're conflicting with the existing server if $DISPLAY is :0.
/usr/bin/Xephyr -displayfd 10 :1
does that work?

Comment 7 Peter Hutterer 2012-06-21 05:09:26 UTC
sorry, ECOFFEE, didn't think of displayfd properly.

Issue:
Fedora's displayfd patch printed a newline after the DISPLAY. The patch that got merged upstream doesn't, so you're not actually reading the DISPLAY until Xephyr exists.

_XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running

This is a warning printed once for each display socket that was tried but didn't succeed. It has no effect otherwise and can be ignored when running with -displayfd.
