Ralph, It seems that some 10.04 installs have a root account in
/etc/group and some don't. I have checked about half a dozen machines
and there is no obvious rhyme or reason between which have root in
/etc/group and which don't. There are two that were clean-installed to
10.04 back in April which
I had this problem and resolved the issue by editing /etc/group to
include a
root:x:0:
line.
What was happening was that the line
chown root:root $SOCKET_DIR
which is responsible for the ownership of /tmp/.X11-unix in
/etc/init.d/x11-common was calling the root group, which is not created
when
