Bug#316479: clusterssh: cssh does not start and complains about X11/Protocol.pm
OK, I've spent the whole morning digging the bug and I've found it.
The function get_all() in /usr/share/perl5/X11/Auth.pm silently
returned nothing because my ~/.Xauthority seemed corrupted:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xauth
Using authority file /home/cyb/.Xauthority
xauth> list

xauth>
("wide" is my hostname)
I really have no idea how this corruption happened but I simply
removed the file, restarted X11 and cssh is happily working again.
The corrupted file is 2495 bytes long whereas the valid one is only
115 bytes long, it's quite a difference. I kept a copy if anyone needs
it.
I'm also wondering why all my other X11 apps were working normally
with this corrupted .Xauthority file and why cssh is the only one to
fail.
I would have saved a lot of my time if libx11-protocol-perl was
displaying an explicit error message instead of:
"Can't read: at /usr/share/perl5/X11/Protocol.pm line 2301".
I guess other users might waste a lot of time too because of that so
I'll reassign this bug as "wishlist" to libx11-protocol-perl.
Thanks.

Thanks for this, but no change. It still works fine on my systems.

I have tagged this bug unreproducible. I did a fresh install of sarge and the apt-get -f dist-upgrade to sid and was not able to reproduce this problem. I did find some other problems related to -xrm 'XTerm.VT100.allowSendEvents:true' that are most likely going to necessitate removing the dependency on x-terminal-emulator and depending only on xterm and rxvt (and other x-terminal-emulators that provide support for this option). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have the exact same versions of the package and all of the dependencies listed in the bug report, and cannot reproduce the bug. However, your version of perl isn't listed in the dependencies - could you please send me that just to be sure? Also, can you tell me the scenario in which you're using clusterssh? Are you running it locally, or remotely and then exporting your DISPLAY? Do you happen to be running X.org? The line indicated where X11::Protocol is failing is in the code that establishes a connection with your X-server, and from what it seems, particularly the section dealing with authorization. Anyway, if 3.16.1 works for you, I suggest you revert to that (let me know you'd like me to email you a recent .deb) while I work through all of the differences between that and the most current version.

Bug#316479: clusterssh: cssh does not start and complains about X11/Protocol.pm
Thanks for the bug report; I'm still trying to reproduce this on my system. Here are a couple of notes: * uxterm backgrounds itself after opening the terminal window, and hence is not going to work with clusterssh at this time. I don't think it's ever worked, and this is noted in the README.Debian file. I'll make the note more prominent in the next release. * aterm has a problem with the -xrm switch that cssh is tacking on. This is a separate bug, and I will address it. * cx_args is no longer used by the script * You have the cluster "shell" listed twice in your clusters line. This isn't related to the bug, but I'll have to do some testing to see if might cause other problems. I'm curious to know if your problem began with the 3.17.1 version. Could you attempt your cssh with "terminal = xterm" just to validate that the script still works for you with configuration?
