Hi Branden,
With yesterday's update of xserver-common_4.01-10_i386
I can no longer run X with startx, which I always do.
It yields the error message "X: user not authorized to run the X server,
aborting."
I have narrrowed the change down to the one file /usr/X11R6/bin/X
which is packaged in xserver-common. If I replace that one file
with the previous version (4.01-9) the error goes away.
Is this a deliberate change in authentication policy or just a bug?
If it is deliberate I need to know how to do the authentication
properly.
Thanks for sharing your time and hard work with all of us out here!
Walt
