[Bug 430697] Re: exmh-bg dying, becoming a zombie
Yes, XAUTH is needed but we're talking about XHOST that's causing problems. Causing problems not only with exmh but each and every Tk application using the send function to communicate with its child windows. From the Tk send man page: In order to provide at least a small amount of security, Tk checks the access control being used by the server and rejects incoming sends unless (a) xhost-style access control is enabled (i.e. only certain hosts can establish connections) and (b) the list of enabled hosts is empty. This means that applications cannot connect to your server unless they use some other form of authorization such as that provide by xauth. So this bug is still valid as for some reasons there are entried added into the XHOST list which aren't necessary in any way, in fact, all systems I'm using run fine with an empty XHOST list since XAUTH has been invented some ten years ago. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430697 Title: exmh-bg dying, becoming a zombie To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exmh/+bug/430697/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's still an exmh bug, XAUTH is needed and not going away. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430697 Title: exmh-bg dying, becoming a zombie To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exmh/+bug/430697/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, output of lspci and Xorg.0.log are irrelevant as this bug is against /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-common_localhost and not Xorg itself. regards, Bodo ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- exmh-bg dying, becoming a zombie https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430697 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi bodo-bellut, Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn` and `dmesg`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you're using a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well. [This is an automated message.

I've finally found out why this happens. The two processes use the Tk send function to communicate with each other which only worls, when the xhost list is empty.
