** Description changed: On Ubuntu, if you create a directory with the same name as the system's - hostname in the user's home directory ($HOME/$HOSTNAME), when this user - attempts to startx, xauth will complain about the lock in the authority - file ~/.Xauthority. This also creates the files ~/.Xauthority-c and - ~/.Xauthority-l. This is a very specific bug, I'm not sure if it's + hostname in the user's home directory ($HOME/$HOSTNAME) and the hostname + contains a dot (e.g., localhost.localdomain), when this user attempts to + startx, xauth will complain about the lock in the authority file + ~/.Xauthority. This also creates the files ~/.Xauthority-c and + ~/.Xauthority-l. This is a *very* specific bug, I'm not sure if it's Ubuntu-related or xinit-related exactly. I can reproduce it consistently (minimal install, no additional pacakges installed aprt from xorg). System info: - Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 LTS - xinit 1.4.1-0ubuntu2
